Summary
The fully updated new edition of this classic textbook is an essential reference for students and scholars in applied economics, regional science and public policy. It blends extensive development of the basic and advanced concepts of input-output analysis with applications and illustrations of these concepts with real-world data.
Additional text
'It is highly difficult if not impossible for input-output researchers to write a new textbook on the field, because they already have at hand Input-Output Analysis: Foundations and Extensions. This book is so comprehensive in coverage and continuously evolving for updates, allowing very little room for other scholars to supplement. The book also embraces readers of differing levels and areas of interest, from university undergraduates to professionals, from trade economists to environmental analysts, which again makes it hard to imagine a substitute of any kind. The book is really a must-read literature.' Satoshi Inomata, The President of the International Input-Output Association & Chief Senior Researcher of Institute of Developing Economies, JETRO
