The ‘Toolbox’ of Leontief’s Input-Output Analysis

Author

  • Jean Arrous

Abstract

Largely overlooked due to the division of our discipline into micro- and macroeconomics, Wassily Leontief’s input-output analysis is not only a formal theory but also a research strategy. As formal theory, it describes economic activity based on that of the different industries, thereby leading to the calculation of labour-value, price determination and GDP. As research strategy, it is applied to ecological and energy transitions leading to the calculation of pollution-value and energy-value.
