Abstract
Greytak D. (1972) The firm in regional input-output analysis, Reg. Studies 6, 327–329. This paper evaluates the direct input and multiplier coefficients calculated for a firm integrated into a regional input-output table in the manner originally suggested by the late Professor Tiebout. Divergence between the coefficients calculated by the suggested technique and those calculated from the direct requirements table can be attributed to the conventions applied in the definition of industries and to the distinction between sales on current and capital account. Moreover, use of the technique as a means of assessing the impact of a new firm locating in a region is considered and found to be in conflict with the assumption underlying the calculation of inter-industry multiplier coefficients.
