Abstract

The input-output system is a convenient means of representing a huge mass of heterogeneous data into a coherent whole such that the structural relationships underlying the economy are meaningfully revealed. The system is widely used in the planning exercises of many countries. The heart of the framework of reasoning consists in applying an input-output model for estimating consistent output levels. The model has varied uses and its rich information content yields answers to several economic aspects such as equilibrium prices, maximal growth possibilities etc. The constancy of the technical coefficients of the model over time however is the crucial assumption in the analysis.

Abstract

The Input-Output coefficient matrices can be constructed either in Purchasers Prices or in Producers Prices. The difference between the two prices is due to trade, transport and taxes, etc. which together are usually referred to as distributive margins.

Abstract

The input-output table is a very convenient means of combining a huge mass of heterogeneous statistical data into a coherent whole such that the structural relationships underlying the economy can be analysed. The table has three constituents viz. intersectoral transactions; final demand vectors, and value added row.

Abstract

The Leontief Input-output system is widely used in the planning exercises of many countries. The heart of the framework of reasoning consists, in applying an input-output model for obtaining the consistency among st sectoral outputs. Input-output analysis assumes the constancy of input coefficients.

Abstract

Professor Dandekar's "Nature of class conflict in the Indian Society" is highly provoking. The main thesis of the paper is that class conflict exists between organized labour plus capitalists on the one hand and the unorganized sector on the other and that the former are exploiting the latter. Though mercifully capitalists are included in the exploiting category the tenor of the paper is that the main villian is the organized working class.

Abstract

The purpose of this Paper is to evaluate the distributive costs in the large scale manufacturing industries. In Section I the importance of evaluation of distributive costs for the input-output analysis is discussed. The method of evaluation, and the results are presented in Section II.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a pilot survey on the costs of residential construction in Poona city during 1958, conducted by the Institute. The object of the survey is to analyse the input structure of the residential buildings and secondly to examine the variables that explain the variations in the cost. A stable input structure, stable over a class of buildings, if it exists, would be very helpful in estimating the requirements of the building materials or their costs.
