Abstract

This paper is concerned with the estimation problems of national and regional static input-output (I-O) models. It is argued that often what are really needed in I-O analysis are the coefficients of an I-O model and not the flows of the I-O table. An econometric estimate of "columns only" coefficients is suggested as a means of obtaining unbiased estimates and a measure of their reliability.

Another important feature of the approach suggested is the attention given to extraneous information and judgment. Different estimators are given for the various situations that may occur.

Results of a tentative partial application of this approach to a sector of the I-O model of the Veneto region are given.
