Evaluation of countable multipliers within the framework of a matrix of regional social accounting

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to present a recent Social AccountingMatrix for the region of Andalusia (SAMAND95). Using a variety of available data,such as the Regional Income and Product Accounts, the 1995 Input-Output Table forAndalusia, as well as some national level data, we have constructed a square SAMthat reflects all flows and interactions for the base year. With the database we haveperformed a modeling exercise that allows us to obtain accounting multipliers, and their decomposition into direct, indirect, and induced effects, that show some of thestructural relationship among productive sectors.
