“…Their main contribution was to postulate that economic development and structural change proceed through sectors with above-average linkages with other sectors of the economy, acting to accelerate and amplify initially small changes and ultimately affect the whole economy (Lenzen 2003). Several authors have since applied these new methods to explain the constraints and opportunities for growth in developing economies (Hazari 1970;Acharya and Hazari 1971;Diamond 1974;Laumas 1975;Beyers 1976;Bulmer-Thomas 1978;Meller and Marfán 1981;Baer et al 1987;Clements and Rossi 1991;Hewings 1992, 1993;Andreosso-O'Callaghan and Yue 2004). Similar methods have also been applied in the identification of key sectors within developed economies (Dietzenbacher 1992;Lenzen 2003;Los 2004;Robles Teigeiro and Sanjuán Solís 2005;Hanly 2012).…”

“…In other words, sectors that have a large share of their sales coming from a small number of sectors will have different risks than sectors with a number of high key linkages. A solution to the problem of sector variability was proposed by Hazari (1970) by introducing a measure of variance for each sector of the economy, namely: V j and V i . Forward linkages are measured through V i while backward linkages are measured through V j .…”

“…A sector that draws evenly across a greater number of sectors (low V j ) is thought to be more resilient than a sector with concentrated dependence on only a few sectors. Hazari (1970) developed two equations for estimating backward and forward variability linkages. 6 These equations were improved in this study in several important respects.…”

Exploring Vulnerability and Interdependency of UK Infrastructure Using Key-Linkages Analysis

It has been argued the UK has experienced significant underinvestment in critical infrastructure over the last two decades. This in turn has resulted in infrastructure that is less capable of assisting the UK economy to grow. This article seeks to undertake an in-depth analysis of the inter-linkages and economic contributions from infrastructure within the UK. It explores the relationship between nine infrastructure sectors and how these sectors contribute to the rest of the UK economy using keylinkage analysis. Each infrastructure sector is shown to be unique in the way it interacts with other economic sectors and in the form of contribution it makes to the economy overall. Infrastructure is found to be a necessary and important part of economic development. The analysis finds that over the last 23 years there has been a decline in the relative economic contribution from infrastructure to UK GVA. Only two infrastructure sectors increased their relative contribution to GVA since 1992. These were the water transport sector and sewerage and sanitary services sector. Railway transport and gas distribution have had the largest relative decline in contribution towards UK GVA with relative contributions decreasing by over 50 % since 1992. The three most important infrastructure sectors contributing to UK GDP are land transport, electricity production and distribution and telecommunications respectively.

“…However, they can generally be classified into two categories. One category is the classical Rassmussen-Hirschman and Chenery-Watanabe type linkage measures, including their subsequent variants such as those in Jones (1976) and Hazari (1970). For this category of linkages, the backward linkage is based on a sector's demand for input while the forward linkage is based on its output supply to other production sectors.…”

“…They have been improved and expanded in several ways, and many different methods have been proposed for the measurement of linkages coefficients (Hazari, 1970;Yotopoulos & Nugent, 1973;Laumas, 1976;Riedel, 1976;Jones, 1976;Schultz, 1977). More recently, linkages analysis methods have again attracted increasing attention from input-output analysts (Cella, 1984;Clements, 1990;Heimler, 1991;Sonis et al, 1995;Dietzenbacher & Linden, 1997).…”

Many sectors rely on energy as input to produce output. Even though the use of energy in agriculture sector is not as high as in other sectors, it is important to study the connectedness between the two sectors as there is no study done so far to show the linkages between them in Malaysia. Input-output analysis has been used to study the connectedness degree between the two sectors using input-output data for 1991-2000. The direct and total backward linkages analyses have shown that there is a significant increase in the use of energy in agriculture sector for the 1991-2000 period but the connectedness is still weak. Among the three energy-related sectors namely; crude oil, natural gas & coal, petrol & coal industries and electricity & gas, it was found that the agriculture sector depends more on inputs from petrol & coal industries as compared to the other two sectors. Based on these results, some policy implications have been proposed to help the decision-makers in economic planning especially on implementing policies related to energy and agriculture sectors.
