No 271004, 1990 Annual meeting, August 5-8, Vancouver, Canada from American Agricultural Economics Association (New Name 2008: Agricultural and Applied Economics Association)

Abstract: Measurement of agriculture's economic contribution must consider possible replacement of farm production by imports and induced loss of forward-linked sectors. Sequential extraction, an input-output technique, is applied to the food system to assess total economic activity attributable to agriculture. The approach is demonstrated using Hawaii state data.
