What is I-O Model? • The Input-output model of economics uses a matrix representation of a nation's (or a region's) economy to predict the effect of changes in one industry on others and by consumers, government, and foreign suppliers on the economy. (Wikipedia) • First developed by Leontief, who later won Nobel Prize for this.
Concept • Industries are interdependent • Industries use the products of other industries to produce their own products. • For example - automobile producers use steel, glass, rubber, and plastic products to produce automobiles. • When you buy a car, you affect the demand for glass, plastic, steel, etc.

$$ Consumption Spending (Yi) Goods & Services Businesses Households Labor $$ Wages & Salaries Simplified Circular Flow View of The Economy Businesses Businesses purchase from other businesses to produce their own goods / services. This is intermediate demand or xij (output of industry i sold to industry j) Households sell labor & other inputs to business as inputs to production Households buy the output of business: final demand or Yi Taken from a Power Point presentation prepared by Pam Perlich at the University of Utah.http://www.business.utah.edu/~bebrpsp/IO/IO.ppt

Advantage • Sector-level analysis (170 sectors for Thailand, 4xx sectors for the U.S.) • General equilibrium • Easy to construct (if I-O table exists), suitable for the real-world policy analysis
Fuel tax Demand system Weight Income (GDP) Final demand I-O Model Output Emissions EIO Model How can we use I-O Model? • Example: The effect of fuel tax on Thai economy. GDP
The problems of I-O Model • Data availability • Constant technical coefficients: “snapshot” • Linear relationships between inputs and outputs (no externality, constant return to scale) • Each industry has homogenous, and only one, production function
