B. Andreosso et M. Semenov, USING THE SYNTHETIC BIPROPORTIONAL PROJECTOR FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF STRUCTURAL-CHANGE IN IRELAND, Economic and social review, 25(2), 1994, pp. 121-134
This paper analyses changes in the industrial structure of Ireland bet
ween 1975 and 1985. Confining our analysis to the inter-industry matri
x, we use the Synthetic Biproportional Project method, which has signi
ficant advantages compared with the more traditional input-output coef
ficients or the RAS method. The results highlight, inter alia, the wea
k linkages between 'strategic industries' such as office machinery and
chemicals and the rest of the Irish economy.
