Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collection of papers written for a conference held in September 1989. The papers deal with topics of current debate in regional and inter-regional input-output groups: a set which consider the internal analysis of input-output tables; a set which consider sophisticated regional analysis based on regional tables; and a set that considers the problems of using input-output tables in more complex models of regional and inter-regional economies. The papers strike a balance reviewing the current practice in input-output analysis and suggesting possible avenues for future development of the area.
