Imprecision within economic input-output frameworks can be a problem, particularly when investigating the characteristics of defined industry sectors. This study undertakes an aggregated regional economic input-output analysis, within a fuzzy environment. The dearth of studies encompassing a fuzzy approach within input-output analysis largely concerns the problematic representation of imprecision. Results pertaining to the fuzzy output multipliers associated with each sector group are described, including possibilistic mean and variance; also identified is a specific ranking of the sector groups. Where appropriate, results are compared with those from a Monte Carlo simulation based stochastic analysis.
