Abstract: Based on input-output transactions tables, our study decomposes the cause for change in sectoral shares in GDP into three components - the final-demand effect, input-structure effect and reallocation effect - and makes an empirical assessment of these components. It is observed that apart from final-demand effect, input-structure and reallocation effects played very important roles in determining sectoral shares of all major sectors of the Indian economy during the three decades - 1974-2004. In the absence of these two effects, tertiary sector's share in GDP of India over the three decades would be smaller by more than six percentage points compared to what it was in 2003-04. Distinctive behaviour of Community, Social and Personal Services vis-a-vis the rest of the tertiary sector is an important finding of the study.
