Issues and Insights on the Interindustry Structure of the Philippine and Mindanao Economy: 1979 and 1990

Abstract:

This study is an attempt to explain differences in production structure at the regional and national levels. Differences in factor endowments, technological capacity, scale of production across industries are some reasons that the production structure may be different at the regional and national levels. It aims to (1) provide some theoretical understanding of space-time development of interindustry structure; (2) describe interindustry structure at the regional and national level across different points in time; and (3) identify industries with high local linkages so that appropriate infrastructure and industrial complementation requirements may be instituted.
