1. INTRODUCTION Hybrid input-output models combine nonsurvey techniques for estimating regional direct requirements tables with superior data, which are obtained from experts, surveys, and other reliable sources (primary or secondary). Such data can be added at any stage of model construction. To date, hybrid model production has been defined only in very general terms. Elsewhere (Lahr, 1993), ...

This brief note draws further attention to cross-hauling in regional input-output table estimation, and specifically identifies conceptual issues associated with Kronenberg?s CHARM method for adjusting input-output regionalization methods. Despite the shortcomings of the CHARM approach as it now stands, this is a very important line of research. I believe that progress made on the CHARM method ...

Input-output (I-O) tables are integrated parts of of the production account in the System of National Accounts (SNA) in Canada. In different levels of details, they give a slap-shot of the structure of the whole economy: the industrial sectors that produce goods and services using various commodities and input factors. This chapter reviews the Canadian standard and methodology in producing the ...

The paper describes an attempt to use the British Input Output tables and other computer readable British Economic statistics to test hypotheses about the labour theory of value. Inversion of the I/O matrices is used to obtain estimates of values for commodity groups and the correlations between these and prices are computed. The results show a very high level of correlation between values and ...
