Input-output analysis

Industries use the products and services of other industries to produce their own products. A construction company, for example, will buy building materials from several different suppliers, and these suppliers, in turn, will buy there inputs from suppliers further down the industry chain. An input-output model is a quantitative economic technique that captures these inter-industry transactions. The technique of Input-output analysis is originally created by Wassily Leontief (1965).

Input-output table

Based on the development plan, an Input-output table is created (see figure below). This table is used to calculate the infinite circulation of capital through inter-industry transactions (indirect effects) and internalizing the wages and transactions of households (induced effects). Since in each round capital flows out of the system (taxes, import and wages), the impact becomes gradually smaller and tends to zero in the end. This results in the so-called Leontief multipliers.

Multiplier effects

The multipliers of the input-output model provide an indication of what the indirect and induced effects are of an extra unit of expenditure (the direct impact).

There are two main types of multipliers:

  • Type I: is the multiplier of the indirect effects (compared to the direct impulse). For example, if an urban project development of 1 million euro leads to an additional 0.5 million euro of indirect production, the type I multiplier is 1.5;
  • Type II: is the multiplier of the induced effects (compared to the direct impulse). For example, if an urban project development of 1 million euro generates an additional consumption spending by employees of 250.000 euro, the type II multiplier is 1.25.
