Constructing a social accounting matrix for Libya
The lack of coherent time series data for Libya is a serious obstacle for applied research on its economy. An alternative to econometric analysis is to use a social accounting matrix (SAM) in conjunction with an appropriately specified computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to address policy questions. We constructed a SAM for Libya for the year 2000, which integrates national income, input-output, flow-of-funds and foreign trade statistics i…
Factors Influencing the Growth of Foreign Banks' Branches in China
Because of the excess demand for branch licences and the Chinese government's policy to effectively ration banking licences, this paper suggests explaining the allocation of branch licences by the objectives of the Chinese government rather than by the objectives of foreign banks. Consequently, it examines what factors determined the supply of branch licences to foreign banks in China at a micro level. This is in contrast with the existing litera…
A Comparison of Measures of Industrial Specialization For Travel-to-work Areas in Great Britain, 1981-1997
That industrial specialization is inversely correlated with regional size is an established empirical finding. However in establishing this relationship, authors have used several different measures of regional industrial specialization or diversification. This review paper investigates whether the choice of measure is important in such work. Eleven different measures found in the literature are compared with respect to their distributions, their…
Foreign Direct Investment and Development-agency Intervention: A Theoretical Model
A model is proposed in which there are two regions that differ in terms of size. There are two firms, one located in each region, producing a homogeneous product. The firms have identical cost functions and act as Cournot oligopolists. Transporting the product between the two regions is costly. A foreign firm is to establish a plant in one of the regions. The foreign firm experiences higher fixed costs, but has lower marginal costs, than the dome…
Regional Size, Industrial Location and Input‐Output Expenditure Coefficients
MCCANN P. and DEWHURST J. H. LL. (1998) Regional size, industrial location and input-output expenditure coefficients, Reg. Studies 32 , 435-444. This paper develops some of the themes raised in a recent paper by FLEGG et al. , 1995. The question we explore is the relationship between the size of a region and the values of the expenditure coefficients, as estimated using location quotients. By using hypothetical examples we show that there is no t…
Convergence Clubs and Relative Economic Performance in Great Britain: 1977–1991
CHATTERJI M. and DEWHURST J. H. LL. (1996) Convergence clubs and relative economic performance in Great Britain: 1977–1991, Reg. Studies 30, 31–40. Movements in the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of English and Welsh counties and Scottish regions are examined to test whether the counties and regions are converging in terms of GDP per capita. The exercise is carried out for the period 1977 to 1991 and for six sub-periods. Although there i…
Using the RAS Technique as a Test of Hybrid Methods of Regional Input–Output Table Updating
DEWHURST J. H. LL. (1992) Using the RAS technique as a test of hybrid of regional input–output table updating. Reg. Studies 26, 81–91. Hybrid methods of regional input–output table construction appear to offer cheaper ways of constructing such tables than using a full survey. In addition they are claimed to give more accurate results than short–cut methods of table construction. However empirical tests of the hybrid method of table construction a…
Intensive Income in Demo-Economic input-output Models
In this paper, the treatment of intensive income in extended input-output models of a 'demo-economic' nature is discussed. In the first section of the paper a model is presented that allows for intensive, extensive, redistributive, and exogenous income changes in response to an increase in exogenous final demand for the output of an economy. It is shown that use of Blackwell's method of estimating intensive and extensive income changes in such a …
Below Capacity Working and Potential Output in Scottish Manufacturing Industry
By suitably transforming the results of the Confederation of British Industry Industrial Trends Survey, and combining them with Index of Industrial Production data, this paper examines the behavior of capacity utilization and potential output in six manufacturing industries in Scotland over the period 1977-86. Most industries experienced a decline in capacity utilization between 1980 and 1982, which was followed by adjustments to levels of produc…
Peripheral counter-urbanization: Findings from an integration of census and survey data in Northern Scotland
This paper systematically relates local survey data to national census data in an investigation of one peripheral form of counter-urbanization now regarded as widely present in developed countries. The recent growth and spatial distribution of long-distance English migration to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland is described, and then 'explained' through multivariate analysis of cross-sectional data and through the stated motivations and chara…
