Title: Applications of input--output analysis to energy problems

Journal Article · · Science, v. 184, no. 4134, pp. 325-329

A brief outline of the U. S. input- output system and data base is given. An input-output table gives a detailed picture of the flow of goods and services that individual industries buy from and sell to each other in a particular year. The system was used in estimating the impact of 1973- 1974 petroleum shortages on output, employment, and prices. The system was also used to analyze the long- term economic effects of prospective changes in energy technology. A comprehensive study is Wassily Leontief's worldwide model. Its scope includes agriculture and other resources and will include input-output tables of 40 sectors for 15 regions of the world. (MCW)
