Primary inputs are mainly given from nature such as land, labor, organization. The
source of inter-mediate input is various industry, but the source of primary inputs is
family or household sector.
Inter-industry relationship
There are flows of goods in “whirlpools and cross currents” between different
industries. The supply side consists of large inter-industry flows of intermediate
products and the demand side of the final goods. In essence, the input-output analysis
implies that in equilibrium, the money value of aggregate output of the whole economy
must equal the sum of the money values of inter-industry inputs and the sum of the
money values of inter-industry outputs. For example, Coal is an input for steel industry
and steel is an input for coal industry, though both are the outputs of their respective
industries. A major part of economic activity consists in producing intermediate goods
(inputs) for further use in producing final goods (outputs).
Leontief Proposal
There are two types of relationships which indicate and determine the manner in
which an economy behaves and assumes a certain pattern of flows of resources. The
internal stability or balance of each sector of the economy, and the external stability
of each sector or intersectoral relationships. Professor Leontief calls them the
“fundamental relationships of balance and structure.” When expressed
mathematically they are known as the “balance equations’ and the “structural
equations”.
The Static Input-Output Model:
The whole economy is divided into two sectors—“inter-industry sectors” and “final-demand sectors,”
both being capable of sub-sectoral division. The total output of any inter-industry sector is generally
capable of being used as inputs by other inter-industry sectors, by itself and by final demand sectors.
Prices, consumer demands and factor supplies are given. There are no external economies and
diseconomies of production.
Assumptions:
(i) No two products are produced jointly. Each industry produces only one homogeneous product.
(ii) Each producing sector satisfies the properties of linear homogeneous production function i.e.
Production of each sector is subject to constant returns to scale.
(iii) The combinations of inputs are employed in rigidly fixed proportions. The inputs remain in
constant proportion to the level of output. It implies that there is no substitution between different
materials and no technological progress. There are fixed input coefficients of production.
Example
• For understanding, a four sector economy is taken in which there are three industry
sectors, X 1, X 2 , X 3 and one final demand sector.
• Horizontal explanation Products of the these three industries are being used as an
intermediate product(input) and final consumption by government or household sector.
• Vertical explanation total inputs(from all sectors ) utilized by each sector for its
production.
Input-Output Table
Mathematical Explanation
Rows which are consumption centres can be written as
X 1 = X 11 +X 12 +X 13 +F 1
X 2 = X 21 +X 22 +X 23 +F 2
X 3 = X 31 +X 32 +X 33 +F 3
L=L1+L2+L3
So Xi = Σ X ij Σ F i
and L=Σ L i
Where all i and j varies from 1 to 3 .
Coloumn
•Thus “a column gives one point on the production function of the corresponding industry.” The ‘final
demand’ column shows what is available for consumption and government expenditure. The third row
corresponding to this column has been shown as zero. This means that the household sector is simply a
spending (consuming) sector that does not sell anything to itself. In other words, labour is not directly
consumed.
Technological coefficient matrix
Closed model and open model
In open model when value of final demand is given, we can find out
absolute level of production. But in a closed model , where value of final
demand is not given absolute values cannot be found.
Practice Problem
Suppose an economy consists of two industries- steel and automobiles. In order to
produce automobiles, the economy requires steel and automobiles. Similarly, in order
to produce steel, the economy requires automobiles and steel. To produce one-rupee
worth of steel, the steel industry requires 0.2 paisa worth of steel and 0.7 paisa worth of
automobiles. To produce one-rupee worth of automobile, the automobile industry
requires 0.5 paisa worth of steel and 0.1 paisa worth of automobiles. Also suppose that
the economy has to export Rs15000 worth of steel and Rs5000 worth of automobiles.
a) Express the above problem as an input-output model.
b) How much of worth of steel and automobiles should be produced to meet the total
demand?
