The regionalization of national input‐output tables
Estimating Regional Input Coefficients and Multipliers
F legg A. T. and T ohmo T. Estimating regional input coefficients and multipliers: the use of FLQ is not a gamble, Regional Studies . This paper re-examines the Finnish evidence presented by Lehtonen and Tykkyl inen on the use of location quotients (LQs) in estimating regional input coefficients and multipliers. They argue that the choice of an LQ-based method is a gamble and that there is no single method that can be recommended for general use.…
Regional Input–Output Tables and the FLQ Formula
Flegg A. T. and Tohmo T. Regional input – output tables and the FLQ formula: a case study of Finland, Regional Studies. This paper examines the use of location quotients (LQs) in constructing regional input – output tables. Its focus is on the modified FLQ formula proposed by Flegg and Webber in 1997. Using data for twenty Finnish regions of widely different size, a regression model is developed to assist in the selection of a value for the unkno…
Regional Size, Regional Specialization and the FLQ Formula
FLEGG A. T. and WEBBER C. D. (2000) Regional size, regional specialization and the FLQ formula, Reg. Studies 34 , 563- 569. In examining how regional size might affect regional input-output coefficients, MCCANN and DEWHURST, 1998, raise some concerns about our FLQ formula for estimating such coefficients from national data. In particular, they point to the need to consider regional specialization when modelling regional economies. However, our em…
On the Appropriate Use of Location Quotients in Generating Regional Input‐Output Tables
FLEGG A. T. and WEBBER C. D. (1997) On the appropriate use of location quotients in generating regional input‐output tables: reply, Reg. Studies 31, 795‐805. In this paper, we respond to Steven Brand's criticisms of our FLQ formula for adjusting national input‐output tables to take account of interregional trade. We argue that the FLQ's cross-industry foundations are theoretically appropriate and that our approach provides a rigorous basis for te…
On the Appropriate Use of Location Quotients in Generating Regional Input–Output Tables
FLEGG A. T., WEBBER C. D. and ELLIOTT M. V. (1995) On the appropriate use of location quotients in generating regional input-output tables, Reg. Studies 29, 547-561. This paper examines the conventional use of location quotients (LQs) to estimate regional input–output coefficients from national data. A new L Q-based adjustment formula is developed. By allowing for relative regional size, this new formula should overcome the tendency of convention…
Inequality of income, illiteracy and medical care as determinants of infant mortality in underdeveloped countries
The primary purpose of the paper is to explain the differences in infant mortality rates for a sample of 46 underdeveloped countries. The study differs from earlier research in this field in the following respects. First, an attempt is made to include explanatory variables which have some bearing upon policy discussions. Secondly, considerable attention is devoted to the correct specification of the regression equation. Thirdly, an attempt is mad…
The interaction of fertility and size distribution of income
This article discusses weaknesses both theoretical and statistical in the simultaneous model in the pioneering study on interaction of fertility and size distribution of income done in 1978 by Repetto. While not disputing Repettos hypothesis of a positive relationship between inequality of income and fertility the author notes that because of the deficiencies which he has identified policy makers in underdeveloped countries would be unwise to uti…
The Role of Inequality of Income in the Determination of Birth Rates
Methodological problems in estimating recreational demand functions and evaluating recreational benefits
Flegg A. T. (1976) Methodological problems in estimating recreational demand functions and evaluating recreational benefits, Reg. Studies 10, 353–362. This paper uses data on three recreations at a Welsh reservoir to discuss various problems in specification of recreational demand functions. The conventional use of visits per caput as the dependent variable is found to introduce a strong bias into estimates of elasticities and to result in inflat…
