The input-output (consumption) matrix for a closed economy is given below. Solve the associated input- output model. Use r if you need a variable in your answer. [0.07 0.05 0.27] [0.17 0.48 0.19] [0.76 0.47 0.54]
Answer :-
Total output equals intermediate output plus final output. If we
let
be the matrix of coefficients
,
be the vector of total output, and
be the vector of final demand, then our expression for the economy
becomes
which after re-writing becomes
. If the matrix
is invertible then this is a linear system of equations with a
unique solution, and so given some final demand vector the required
output can be found. Furthermore, if the principal minors of the
matrix
are all positive the required output vector
is non-negative.
