Abstract

Using input-output table data and a system of basic and derivative indices, the analysis in this paper provides a dissection of the Greek economy for the years 2005 and 2010. The findings suggest that: (i) the structural features of the economy have been shaped well before the emergence of the so-called Greek (or PIIGS) crisis; (ii) a well-targeted effective demand management policy could be mainly based on the service and primary production sectors; and (iii) industrial policy would be necessary and could primarily focus on nine highly import-dependent commodities of the industry sector. Therefore, it seems that a change in the intersectoral structure of the Greek economy is necessary. Anatomia della struttura produttiva dell’economia greca negli anni 2005 e 2010 Tramite l’utilizzo di dati relativi alla struttura produttiva e ad un sistema di indici di base e derivati, l’analisi di questo studio fornisce un’anatomia dell’economia greca per il 2005 e il 2010. I risultati suggeriscono che: (i) le caratteristiche strutturali dell’economia erano state modellate bene prima della crisi greca o della cosiddetta emergenza dei paesi PIIGS; (ii) un’ efficiente politica di gestione della domanda potrebbe basarsi sui servizi e sul settore primario; (iii) una politica industriale sarebbe necessaria e potrebbe principalmente basarsi su nove prodotti industriali altamente import-dipendenti. Sembra dunque necessario un cambio nella struttura intersettoriale dell’economia della Grecia.
