Using Various Types of Location Quotients to Disaggregate Turkey’s Input-Output Table: An Application to the Production Structure of Region TR33

Abstract

As many other developing countries, the statistical office of Turkey displays an input-output table at the national level only and it is not regularly updated. Yet, the need for regional-level information is growing because numerous publicly-funded development projects and private investments have taken place at the sub-national level over the recent years. In this paper we create an input-output table for one region, TR33, for the year 2014 by regionalizing and updating the national table through a location quotient approach. It allows us to calculate the regional employment and output multipliers across 35 sectors and to verify if their ranking varies across location quotient techniques. We expect our conclusions will help policy-makers and private investors take an informed decision when investing in TR33.

Keywords
