Abstract

In the last two decades, research in regional input-output analysis has focussed almost exclusively on the problems of estimation of coefficients, updating the coefficients and using the input-output model for impact analysis and forecasting. In this chapter, we begin to devote attention to some rather non-traditional uses of input-output analysis, namely the issues of regional economic structure and structural change over time and space. In essence, the questions we seek to answer focus on our ability to identify regularity in the structure of regional economic systems and also on our ability to be able to suggest ways in which this structure might change over time in response to internal and external growth impulses. One of the major impulses will be the role of technical change and the way that this is manifested in changes in structure. However, the format and approaches which we have developed may be used in the context of a variety of responses to change.
