Abstract

Ciobanu C., Mattas K. and Psaltopoulos D. (2004) Structural changes in less developed areas: an input- output framework, Regional Studies38, 603-614. This paper uses an input-output framework to investigate structural changes within a time span of 17 years in the regional economy of East Macedonia and Thrace in North East Greece, which has gone through considerable changes after Greece's accession to the EU in 1981. The Generation of Regional Input-Output Tables procedure is followed for the construction of the relevant regional models. Then, changes in the structure of the regional economy are estimated using a series of indicators and structural decomposition analysis. Results reveal that between 1980 and 1997, the economy of the selected region has undergone significant transformations affecting both producing and consuming sectors. Also, final demand effects on gross production were more important than changes in technical coefficients, while employment requirements were significantly reduced. Finally, empirical findings provide an indication of the future trends in the structure of the regional economy. Ciobanu C., Mattas K. et Psaltopoulos D. (2004) Des changements structurels des zones en voie de developpement: un tableau d'echanges interindustriels, Regional Studies38, 603-614. Cet article cherche a employer un tableau d'echanges interindustriels afin d'examiner des changements structurels sur une periode de 17 annees pour ce qui est de l'economie regionale de la Macedoine de l'est et de la Thrace, situee dans le nord- est de la Grece et qui a subi de profondes transformations depuis l'entree de la Grece dans l'Ue en 1981. On suit les demarches d'usage quant a la production des tableaux d'echanges interindustriels afin de construire des modeles regionaux correspondants. A partir d'une serie d'indicateurs et d'une anlyse par decomposition structurelle, on estime les changements de la structure de l'economie regionale. Les resultats laissent voir que, de 1980 a 1997, l'economie de la region en question a subi de profondes transformations qui touchent non seulement les secteurs qui produisent, mais aussi ceux qui consomment. En outre, les effets de la demande finale sur la production brute se sont averes plus importants que le changement des coefficients techniques, alors que les offres d'emploi se sont sensiblement reduites. Finalement, des preuves empiriques indiquent les tendances futures quant a la structure de l'economie regionale. Ciobanu C., Mattas K. und Psaltopoulos D. (2004) Struktureller Wandel in weniger entwickelten Gebieten: ein Aufwand-Ertragsmodell, Regional Studies38, 603-614. Dieser Aufsatz benutzt einen Aufwands-Ertragsmodellrahmen zur Untersuchung von strukturellem Wandel in einem Zeitraum von 17 Jahren in der Regionalwirtschaft von Ostmazedonien und Thrakien in Nordostgriechenland, die sich seit dem Beitritt Griechenlands zur EU im Jahre 1981 betrachtlich gewandelt hat. Die Erstellung regionaler Aufswands- Ertragstabellen dient zur Konstruktion relevanter Regionalmodelle. Danach werden Veranderungen in der Struktur der regionalen Wirtschaft mit Hilfe einer Indikatorenserie und einer Strukturzerlegungsanalyse berechnet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Wirtschaft der betroffenen Region im Zeitraum 1980-97 signifikante Veranderungen durchgemacht hat, die sowohl die Produktions-wie auch die Verbrauchersektoren betreffen. Es zeigt sich auch, dass Endnachfrageauswirkungen auf die Bruttoproduktion wichtiger waren als Umstellungen in technischen Koeffizienten, wahrend Bewerbungen fur Arbeitsplatze deutlich zuruckgingen. Schliesslich liefern empirisiche Befunde einen Anhalt fur zukunftige Tendenzen in der Struktur der regionalen Wirtschaft. Ciobanu C., Mattas K. y Psaltopoulos D.

Este articulo utiliza un marco de input-output para investigar cambios estructurales durante un periodo de 17 anos en la economia regional de Macedonia del Este y de Tracia en el Noroeste de Grecia, la cual ha experimentado considerables cambios a partir de la entrada de Grecia en la Union Europea en 1981. Se sigue el procedimiento de Generacion de Tablas Input-Output regionales para la elaboracion de los modelos regionales relevantes. A continuacion se estiman cambios en la estructura de la economia regional utilizando una serie de indicadores y un analisis de descomposicion estructural. Los resultados muestran que, entre 1980 y 1997, la economia de las regiones seleccionadas experimento transformaciones significativas que afectaron tanto a los sectores de produccion como a los de consumo. Ademas, los efectos finales de la demanda en la produccion en bruto fueron mas importantes que los cambios en los coeficientes tecnicos, mientras que los requerimientos de empleo se redujeron significativamente. Por ultimo, los resultados empiricos proporcionan un indicativo sobre las futuras tendencias en la estructura de la economia regional.
