Disaggregation of Input-Output Models into Product Lines as an Economic Development Policy Tool

James R. Simpson and John W. Adams

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1975, vol. 57, issue 4, 584-590

Abstract: A method of determining output and income multipliers for product lines by disaggregating sectors of either the transactions or technical coefficients matrix in existing input-output studies is presented. The study focuses on beef exports from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The analysis indicates that canned and cooked/frozen beef, while generally considered low quality or inferior products are, in terms of economic impacts on the economy, actually "high quality" products. An application of the analysis to planning in Uruguay is presented. Direct and indirect effects from different export product mixes are estimated and projections made to 1985.
