Abstract:
The input-output analysis method, as a quantitative economic approach, has the characteristics of structural, systematic and comprehensive information compared with the conventional statistical methods. In a checkerboard input-output table, it can reflect the state, function, status, and dependence of each link and element in the whole national economy in the movement of the economic system. After model calculation with the certain purpose, the input-output method can also provide a large amount of economic information for our in-depth analysis of social and economic activities, thus becoming a powerful means for objective economic analysis, regulation, and control. With the development of the economic system in recent years, China's microeconomic activities have developed greatly. At the same time, it also puts forward requirements for the macro-operation mechanism. Therefore, it is an important task for us to establish and improve the macroeconomic adjustment and control system as soon as possible. In order to conduct in-depth and scientific research and foresight on complex economic operating systems, strengthen the overall balance of the national economy, and improve the scientific nature of economic planning and decision-making, input-output analysis becomes an indispensable method.
