Description
A collection of Ranko Bon's papers on input-output analysis and its applications. The underlying feature of the papers is a focus on the supply-side input-output model, which better predicts the behaviour of mature economic sectors, such as agriculture and mining, than the demand-sided model. The construction sector is especially relevant in the context of economic stability and maturity issues, as it offers an index of economic maturity for entire economies. This is the main theme that evolves through the papers collected in the book.

Introduction - economic structure and maturity. Part 1 Some theoretical aspects of economic stability: some conditions of macroeconomic stability of multiregional input-output model; comparative stability analysis of multiregional input-output models - column, row and Lontief-Strout gravity coefficient models; supply-side multiregional input-output models; qualitative input-output analysis. Part 2 Empirical investigations into economic stability and the emerging problem of economic maturity: comparative stability analysis of demand-side and supply-side input-output models; comparative stability analysis of demand-side and supply-side input-output models in the UK; comparative stability analysis of demand-side and supply-side input-output models - the case of Jap, 1960-90; comparative stability analysis of demand-side and supply-side input-output models - toward an index of economic "maturity"; coparative stability analysis of demand-side and supply-side input-output models - the case of Turkey, 1973-90. Part 3 Empirical studies of construction activity and economic maturity: the role of construction in the nationl economy - a comparison of the fundamental strucutre of the US and Japanese input-output tables since World War II; direct and indirect resource utilization by the construction sector - the case of the US since World War II; historical comparison of construction sectors in the US, Japan, Italy and Finland using input-output tables; what do we mean by building technology?; the future of international construction - secular patterns of growth and decline; new construction versus maintenance and repair construction technology in the US since World War II; an input-output analysis of the Italian construction sector, 1959-88; some new evidence of old trends - Japanese construction 1960-90; the Italian residential construction sector - an input-output analysis, 1959-92; an input-output analysis of the Turkish construction sector, 1973-90.
