AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTER-REGIONAL SUBCONTRACTING AND THE REGIONAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF SELECTED REDUCTIONS IN DEFENSE EXPENDITURES.

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the subcontracting network of the United States defense industry. Primary emphasis is placed on the inter-regional subcontracting flow. An inter-regional subcontracting matrix for both 1965 and 1966 is established and presented. With these matrices, and using a modified input/output type model, it is shown how this technique can be used to study the economic impact on various regions resulting from selective reductions in defense expenditures. A major effort was made to examine the stability of the inter-regional coefficients. he inter-regional (I-A) matrix is included along with its inverse for both 1965 and 1966. (Author)
