Input-Output Economics

by Wassily Leontief (Editor)

This collection of writings provides the only comprehensive introduction to the input-output model for which Leontief was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1973. The structural approach to economics developed by Leontief, and known as input-output analysis, paved the way for the transformation of economics into a truly empirical discipline that could utilize modern data processing technology. This thoroughly revised second edition includes twenty essays--twelve of which are new to this edition--that reflect the past developments and the present state of the field. Beginning with an introductory chapter, the book leads the reader into an understanding of the input-output approach--not only as formal theory but also as a research strategy and powerful tool for dealing with a complex modern economy.

[Cesar Albuquerque · Rating 5 out of 5]

Li para minha monografia ano passado (2020), o modelo de Insumo-Produto desenvolvido pelo autor é uma forma bem interessante de analisar as interações na economia (com foco na demanda, lei de Say porque choras?). Tem uma série de aplicações empíricas também ainda relativamente pouco exploradas.
