Abstract: Input–output tables have been used extensively in regional analysis. The cost of constructing survey-based models, however, often forces the practitioner to use models based upon secondary information. This paper attempts to determine the seriousness of using a state table from the multiregional input–output (MRIO) model for the USA in lieu of a survey-based model. By means of data for West Virginia and Kansas, input and supply coefficients and output and supply multipliers are examined. The comparisons indicate that the structures embodied within the MRIO models differ significantly from those within the survey-based models.
