Description
The rural economy has experienced many wide-ranging and complex changes in recent years. These stem in large measure from changes in socio-economic norms and values, but also from reforms of agricultural policy, political thinking on the environment, increased international competitive pressures and changes in the structure of social and regional funding. Various attempts have been made to understand and predict the causal structure of these interrelationships through economic models. The input-output approach provides one such methodology for economic modelling and this work applies this approach to a range of rural economic problems, including multiplier effects, forestry and pluriactivity. It combines various case studies with more theoretical discussions.
