THE NATURE OF AUSTRALIAN REGIONAL INPUT-OUTPUT MULTIPLIERS
R.C. Jensen. G.R. West.
Original Articles
This paper presents the first general analysis of the multipliers derived from twenty-nine Australian regional (GRIT) input-output tables, ranging from metropolitan areas to quite isolated regions. The study attempts to summarise the formidable array of results, aiming to provide an empirical reference point for research into regional multipliers, to identify any regularities in the multiplier components and to suggest conclusions for general policy purposes.
