Description
Summary:In this paper a method is developed for updating input — output tables using employment figures. The technique is an improvement over previous conventional adjustments because of the general availability and quality of employment data. Operating on the Leontief inverse matrix, this reformulation builds upon prior attempts to integrate employment data into the adjustment process. However, this model avoids the need to develop employment multipliers independently by using actual employment totals as the constraints. These constraints are derived in such a manner that row and column constraints each sum to the total regional employment.
