DECOMPOSING GROWTH IN A MULTIREGIONAL I-O FRAMEWORK

Since the pioneering work of Wassilly Leontief, a remarkable amount of theoretical and empirical work has continuously supported Input-Outpu t modelling. In particular, the peculiar structure of dynamic input-ou tput (I-O) model have originated, in numerous fields ranging from math ematical economics to system theory, an abundance of contributes. This paper deals with the computational problem of managing regional growt h within a dynamic multiregional input-output model. Starting from the basic matrices of technological capital and trade coefficients, the r egional components associated to a given group of regions are appropri ately recognised and separated. A numerical example, based on the Ital ian case, is also discussed.
