Distributional Effects of Household Linkages

Abstract: The study uses input-output models with disaggregated household sectors to demonstrate that important interhousehold linkages are ignored in standard input-output models of both rural and urban regions. The results indicate that higher-income households are not strongly linked to low-income households and that, given equal changes in exogenous income, low-income households will have much higher impacts on the local economy than high-income households. In addition, significant differences in household linkages were found between rural and urban regions.
