Abstract:
This study presents a linear programming model based on the recently published input-output tables for the Northern Ireland economy. The potential usefulness of such a planning model is demonstrated by the rich range of economic results it provides, not only on the level of maximum consumption, but also for each industrial sector, the optimal level of production, the level of imports and exports, and choice of production technique. It also identifies commodities and resources which form possible bottlenecks for the economy. As such, the planning model provides a consistent theoretical and empirical background against which development plans and policies can be analysed and tested.
