Exports' contribution to economic growth: empirical evidence for California, Massachusetts, and Texas, using employment data

Article Abstract:

The employment data used to analyze economic base theory for California, etc., are divided into export-sector employment and nonexport-sector employment. The main focus is on exports playing a major role in a region's income and its effect on the increased demand for nonexportables bringing about the same increase in nonexport-employment. An interregional model, whereby a region is assumed to produce export and nonexport goods, serves to determine regional employment multipliers. A frequency method is then applied to examine associations between the economic base theory and employment cycles.

Sectoral and spatial linkages in the EC production structure

Article Abstract:

A modified approach of Strassert's (1968) hypothetical extraction method was used to study the interdepencies in the production structure of the European community (EC). The method analyzes the backward linkages of a sector by hypothetically extracting all the intermediate deliveries that the sector buys and sells. The result showed a large variation of the forward and backward interindustry linkages across the sectors, as well as a large difference in intercountry linkages between countries. It also showed that sectors are often dependendent on the same key contributor in the country.

On the bias of multiplier estimates

Article Abstract:

The effects of probabilistic errors or biases on the multiplier matrix of a linear, multisector model used for evaluating the effects of economic policy and for making economic forecasts are studied. The approach assumed that transaction tables were the source of random errors and that positive biases were canceled out by negative biases to produce an average of zero. The mathematical framework underlying the approach is presented.
