Input-Output Analysis

Ronald E. Miller is Professor Emeritus of Regional Science at the University of Pennsylvania. A pioneer in the development of interregional input-output models, his research providing key insights about interregional feedback effects and many other features of regional economic models spans five decades. Peter D. Blair is Distinguished Senior Fellow in the Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University. Published widely in many fields, his career includes management, research and teaching at the National Academy of Sciences, the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, Technecon Analytic Research and the University of Pennsylvania.

'It is not an exaggeration to call this book the Bible of input-output practitioners. Past editions of this book have served as the undergraduate and post-graduate textbook, introducing scholars from outside the Economics discipline to extended topics such as social accounting, resource depletion, pollution, and environmental impacts. The book has recently enjoyed increased popularity and attention at higher levels of academic and decision-making impact. Therefore, this latest edition book is a timely update of a truly seminal foundation.' Manfred Lenzen, The University of Sydney
