A method for preparing multi-regional input-output tables despite data limitation: FLQ-Gravity

Abstract

The preparation of multi-regional input-output tables is of great importance because of its multiple applications. However, due to the lack of data in many developing countries, including Iran, its preparation faces serious challenges. To deal with these challenges, this paper introduces the FLQ-Gravity combination method. This method is specifically applied when there is no inter-regional trade data. For this purpose, first, a single region input-output table is prepared. Then, using the Gravity method, intermediate imports are distributed between its regions by the Gravity method. In the experimental section, the multi-regional input-output table (Tehran, oil-rich regions, and the rest of economies for Iran is prepared using the above method. Then, modeling and calculation are performed on multipliers coefficients and spillover & feedback effects.
