“…At the international level, the results obtained in this study are in line with other research in demonstrating the importance of the primary sector as a driver of socio-economic development of the local economy (Lampiris et al, 2018; Loizou et al, 2014, 2019; Sharma et al, 1999;). However, the work of Jun et al (2013) shows that there are situations in which the substitution of primary sector production by imports from other countries in the context of a free trade agreement can have a positive impact on the local economy as a whole.…”

The Fruit and Vegetable Sector in Andalusia (Spain): Key in Terms of Linkages and the Effect of Economic Multipliers?

et al. 2023

The agriculture, livestock, forestry, and fishing sectors are very important in Andalusia (Spain), being strongly focused on foreign markets, which has required them to make great efforts to improve their competitiveness. The aim of this work is to understand the interrelationships between the fruit and vegetables sector and the remaining sectors of the Andalusian economy, as well as knowing its multiplying effects on production, income, and employment. To this end, the input-output tables of Andalusia for 2016 will be used in order to know if it is a key sector and how it can help to establish economic policy objectives. Regarding forward linkages, the branches that most demand fruit and vegetable products are the industries related to other food products, and the preparation of canned fish and vegetables. In relation to backward linkages, they focus on the manufacture of basic chemicals, and other agricultural crops and services. Despite its importance in Andalusian agriculture, the fruit and vegetable sector is not considered a key sector according to the Rasmussen coefficients, as it is classified as an independent industry. The reasons may be that it uses few primary inputs, is poorly integrated with the rest of the productive sectors, and its production is destined to satisfy final demand (national and international). However, it generates an above average impact on the economy in most multipliers, being important for stimulating economic policy measures.

“…The aim of the article is to answer these two questions, which are important for the regional policy. The estimation of the regional multipliers is achieved by using the multiregional input-output (MRIO) model, which provides the possibility of estimation of the size of the economic impact that every autonomous change of demand provokes in all the regional systems [2,4,[6][7][8]. The regional multipliers have been used for many applications in the regional policy, but are being used for public investments programming -at least in Greece -for the first time.…”

In this article, the method of estimation of regional multipliers is analyzed by using a multiregional input-output analysis and the regional multipliers for the 51 prefectures of Greece are also estimated. The regional multipliers are used for the estimation of the impacts, which public investments produce on the economy of regions. Also, the distribution of the investments in the prefectures of Greece is investigated, so that the same level of economic impact and long-term economic convergence are achieved in every region. Finally, the per inhabitant increase of the output for each prefecture resulting from the expenditures for the materialization of public and private investments in the years 1991-95 is estimated. This article refers to the economic changes that are caused in the phase of materialization of public investments, that is, the short-term and the middle-term impacts.

“…2 2 Specific indicators have also been suggested for the demand‐driven model, such as the measures of hypothetical extraction or shut‐down of sectors (West, 1999), decomposition of output responses (Sharma et al. , 1999) and elasticities (Mattas and Shrestha, 1991).…”

Agriculture’s Inter‐industry Linkages, Aggregation Bias and Rural Policy Reforms

As agricultural policy reform and its effects have become increasingly territorialised, analyses that attempt to explain or predict impacts need to be both more localised and to identify spill-over effects. Local and regional general equilibrium approaches have become increasingly popular because they can extend predictions of policy shocks obtainable from partial equilibrium sectoral models to identify the wider effects. However, agriculture is usually described as a single sector in input-output accounts, whereas policy shocks that affect constituent commodities with differential impacts will have inter-industry effects that are different to those implied by average input-output coefficients. Regionalisation of aggregated input-output tables adds further to these difficulties. The objective of this study is to develop a practical method for dealing with these problems. It describes the theoretical basis of aggregation bias and shows how it can be measured, in two contrasting case study regions in the UK and Sweden. Having established that this is a significant issue, a simple but effective procedure is demonstrated, based on additional information on variable costs, which transforms policy shocks from a direct change in agricultural output to that transmitted to the suppliers of inputs. This method provides an impact close to that which could be calculated if the general equilibrium system had indeed been disaggregated, and supports use of this approach in impact studies where insuffi-1 Gunnar Lindberg is with Nordregio, Nordic Centre for Spatial Development, Stockholm, Sweden.
