Abstract: The authors construct an inter-regional input–output model that combines both national and regional data to isolate the effects of changes in demand by their regional nature using an additive decomposition. The model is used to quantify the backward linkages of the top industries in the Balearic Islands (a European region heavily specializing in tourism) with other industries, both within the region and in the rest of Spain. The results confirm the importance of local industries in terms of backward linkage effects, but also reveal that only 55% of these effects stay in the region, while the rest leak out to the rest of the country due to the extraordinary dependency on supplies created by this specialization.
