(Click above to download a pdf copy of the paper)
- Abstract: In this paper we try to give a solution to the aggregation problem on working with IO Tables. First of all we veryfy the degree of similarity among the production functions of industries which aggregate in each sector. Second, once se have established the aggregation by using different cluster analysis, we set a bundle of conditions to choose the proper linkage method. That allow us to characterize the way of aggregation (weighted or non-weighted) of the IO Table.
