| Regional economic importance of projects, firms and sectors |
|
How much does a project, a firm or an economic sector contribute to value added and employment in a region? How much does a region depend on a project or a sector? How well is a project or a sector integrated into the regional economy?
Input-output tables describe the economic linkages and dependencies among sectors in a region. The regional economic importance results from the direct employment and value added effects. A sector, project or firm also influences the regional economy through its economic linkages with other sectors (through purchasing inputs or through the consumption expenditures of employees). Input-output tables also allow us to calculate how much value added and employment in a region change if the demand for goods and services in a sector changes, if a planned project is implemented or if a new firm is established.
