Abstract
Effective agricultural and rural development planning requires a detailed understanding of the rural and wider regional economy. A regional input‐output model has been developed for Grampian Region in North‐East Scotland.The production of regional input‐output matrices by survey methods is extremely expensive. An alternative method is to adjust mechanistically a national input‐output table by an employment ‐ based location quotient procedure. This paper discusses some important conceptual issues related to the methodology. It also presents the main findings of the Grampian model, in particular those relating to the agri‐business and food complex. The model's implications for regional and rural development are assessed by multiplier analysis and the applicability of the modelling procedures for other regions is considered.
