Input-Output Analysis: Foundations and Extensions

Ronald E. Miller, Peter D. Blair

Cambridge University Press, Jul 30, 2009 - Business & Economics - 784 pages

This edition of Ronald Miller and Peter Blair's classic textbook is an essential reference for students and scholars in the input-output research and applications community. The book has been fully revised and updated to reflect important developments in the field since its original publication. New topics covered include SAMs (and extended input-output models) and their connection to input-output data, structural decomposition analysis (SDA), multiplier decompositions, identifying important coefficients, and international input-output models. A major new feature of this edition is that it is also supported by an accompanying website with solutions to all problems, wide-ranging real-world data sets, and appendices with further information for more advanced readers. Input-Output Analysis is an ideal introduction to the subject for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in a wide variety of fields, including economics, regional science, regional economics, city, regional and urban planning, environmental planning, public policy analysis and public management.

About the author

Ronald E. Miller is Emeritus Professor of Regional Science at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Peter Blair is executive director of the National Research Council's Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences. Dr Blair also directed the Council's America's Energy Future series of studies, initiated in 2007 by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering at the request of Congress to inform the national debate about the role of science and technology in shaping the nation's energy future. From 1992 to 1996, Dr Blair served as Assistant Director of the of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) and director of its Division of Industry, Commerce, and International Security, and earlier as OTA's energy research program manager. He received the agency's distinguished service award in 1991. He was executive director of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society and publisher of American Scientist from 1997 to 2001. Dr Blair was co-founder (in 1978) and principal of Technecon Analytic Research, Inc., which was acquired by the Reading Energy Corporation in 1985. He served on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania (1976–96) and as an adjunct faculty member at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (1997–2001). Dr Blair is the author or co-author of the books Multiobjective Regional Energy Planning, Geothermal Investment Decision Analysis (1979) and Input-Output Analysis: Foundations and Extensions (1985, 2nd edition, 2010), and co-edited Trends in Industrial Innovation: Industry Perspectives and Policy Implications (1997). He has written more than 100 technical articles in areas of energy and environmental policy, electric power systems, operations research, economics and regional science, and science policy. Dr Blair holds a BS in engineering from Swarthmore College (1973) and graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania: an MSE in systems engineering (1974) and an MS (1975) and PhD (1976) in energy management and policy. Dr Blair is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (
