Regional economic effects of the european capital of culture project: the use of input-output analysis

“…companies at national and regional levels use the same ratios of different inputs to produce individual outputs), but the technical coeffi cients do differ, namely to the extent to which goods and services are imported from other regions (proved by Flegg and Tohmo (2013)). Therefore, one can write that a ij = r ij + m ij , where a ij is a national direct consumption coeffi cient, r ij is a regional direct consumption coeffi cient (input coeffi cient) and m ij is a regional import coeffi cient (Morrison & Smith, 1974).…”

“…According to Golemanova and Kuhar (2007), the adjustment of the national I-O table means deleting the intra-sectoral fl ows in the main diagonal of the national SIOT, because the transactions that appear to be intra-sectoral at the national level will become imports at the regional level in most cases and their entering in the table could cause an overestimation of the regional intermediate consumption. This premise has already been mentioned by Morrison and Smith (1974), who, however, have clarifi ed that it may not always be applicable, especially for larger regions, where transactions within sectors may be expected.…”

“…The specifi c calculation procedure will be described according to contemporary authors, such as Flegg and Webber (1997), Golemanova and Kuhar (2007), Kowalewski (2012), Bendaříková (2012 and Flegg and Tohmo (2013), as well as according to authors who introduced these methods to the world or who have actively dealt with them after their development, e.g. Morrison and Smith (1974) or Round (1978).…”

“…Morrison and Smith (1974) or Round (1978). The calculation of regional SIOT consists of several basic steps (they will be described according to Golemanova and Kuhar (2007)). The fi rst step is the adjustment of the national I-O table, the next one is the computation of the regional direct requirement matrix, aggregation of regional sectors and the computation of the complete regional I-O tables.…”
