Measurement of Services in an Input-Output Framework - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

There has been a lively discussion recently on the service orientation of the economy. Service activities have gained importance in present-day economies, and this segment of the economy needs to be focussed on when discussing future growth potentials, employment opportunities, technological change, and international trade relations. In order to base the discussion on a consistent theoretical framework, this book employs input-output tables and related statistics. Following an introductory chapter in Part 1, the second part takes up service orientation in production based on time-series input-output tables covering the 1951-1985 period. Part 3 focuses on employment based on industry-occupation matrices which also span 35 years. Part 4 deals with the problem of linking real resource allocation distinguished by socio-economic purpose to the input-output framework.
