  • Gim and Kim(2008a, 2008c) recently found out that there is no consecutive
    connection between the Leontief inverse ? and the total output  and that
    there are some limits to computing the impact effects of the initial change of
    output. Thus a new “output-output(OO) model” was developed by the authors
    to solve the consecutive connection and overestimation problems very naturally
    based on the output requirements matrix for output ? .
    On the basis of the latest research findings mentioned above, the specific
    objectives of this paper are summarized as follows. (1) We reexamine the
    merits and demerits of different types of input-output(IO) models: the demand
    side, the supply side, and the mixed type. (2) We perform a comparative
    analysis between the IO and OO models in structure and characteristics and
    illustrate the usefulness and validity of the OO model. (3) We derive the
    relevant equations between the cause and effect variables, which are needed to
    compute induced effects, multiplier effects, and linkage effects by using the
    newly developed OO model and table. (4) We present some valid application
    examples, focusing on the empirical economic analysis based on raw data of 󰡔2003 Input-Output Tables󰡕 compiled by the Bank of Korea.
    The major findings from the empirical analysis are followed below. We
    calculated the output, employment, and income multipliers and the impact and
    sensitivity coefficients for final demand and output through the Leontief inverse
    ? and the output requirements matrix for output ? . The Spearman’s rank
    correlation coefficients( ????), ? , are specially computed to observe the
    relevant structural economic characteristics of each sector between two types of
    employment multipliers, income multipliers and sensitivity coefficients. The
    ???? between employment multipliers is 0.9878 and that between income
    multipliers is 0.9402 and that between sensitivity coefficients is 0.9962. The
    higher values which are closer to 1 signify that the entire priority ranks
    between multipliers(or coefficients) are almost the same throughout the whole
    sector.
