Abstract: This article presents a special case of W. Leontief's traditional inputoutput techniques, viz., J. Tinbergen's semi-input-output method. Particularly suitable for planning purposes in developing countries with open economies, the method emphasizes the role of a country's comparative advantages for investment decisions at both the sector and project level. The similarity of semi-input-output with the Little-Mirrlees method of shadow pricing is shown. Empirical applications for Nigeria are reviewed.
