INTER-INDUSTRY COMPETITION PRESSURES: THE MODEL, MEASUREMENT AND STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS

This paper proposes a two-dimensional conceptual model of inter-industry competitive pressure, which is constituted of resource competition and market competition. This paper also provides the related measurement method and some basic properties based on the perspective of input–output analysis. Empirical research in the U.S. clearly shows that these pressures obey a lognormal distribution with a power-law tail, and the proportions of the two-dimensional competitive components follow a normal distribution. This analytical framework can be used to explore the structural nature, statistical characteristics and evolutionary mechanism of the regional industrial competition system and provides some decision support for industry competition policies.

AbstractThis article establishes a useful analytical framework for complete carbon emission of the industries in China and then makes comparison on carbon emission among these industries based on the latest data derived from China’s Input-Output Table and Energy Statistics in 2007. It is found that some industries are “invisible high-carbon” sectors by the definitions of directly-embodied coefficient and perfectly-embodied coefficient and that others have made contributions to carbon leakage by measure of importing and exporting carbon emission volume. Finally, this article provides suggestions to industrial strategies, trade policies and the comprehensive economic management policy in order to effectively achieve energy conservation and emission reduction.

The Impact

AbstractEmpirically, we apply the input-output table of Germany for the benchmark year of 1936 to assess the impact of work creation, rearmament, public and private investment on employment and production in Germany during the 1930s. Our analytical framework integrates the Keynesian multiplier into Leontief’s traditional model. Of course one can speculate about the counterfactual scenario of whether or not the NS-upswing would have taken place even without Hitler’s economic policy. On basis of our reassessment we can safely claim, however, that these programmes were a sufficient condition to create full employment as early as 1936.

Planning Models

Input -output analysis is being widely used in developing countries for planning purposes. For a given level of final demand, input-output analysis allows us to project the required level of gross output to ensure consistency of plan. These projections are made on the assumption that the existing production structure is optimal and it implies that an increase in demand will be met through the expansion of domestic output even when it can be satisfied through an increase in imports. On the other hand, according to the semi-input-output method, we do not have to increase the output of international sectors in order to meet the increase in demand because the level and composition of these activities should be determined by comparative- cost considerations. These are the only national sectors in which output must increase in order to avoid shortage. The semi-input -output method has been such a useful and important contribution, yet, regrettably, its influence on the planning models had been rather limited.
