CENTRAL PLACE THEORY AND INTERCOMMUNITY INPUT‐OUTPUT ANALYSIS

Papers in Regional Science, 1991, vol. 70, issue 4, 399-417

Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper explores trade hierarchies and interindustry relationships, first in theory, then in the empirical context of a western United States timber economy facing a large reduction in its timber harvest. Principles of central place theory guide construction of a hybrid intercommunity input output model. A non‐survey technique for estimating central place trade is developed, and is compared with MRIO methods. The effect of central place dominance on intercommunity multipliers is examined theoretically, as is the nature of feedback linkages in a central place hierarchy. The empirical magnitude of feedback effects is small, and although effects vary in magnitude from community to community, neglect of central place considerations can understate intercommunity sawmill multipliers by as much as 36 percent.
