Preface
In this book input-output analysis is applied to the regional economy of The
Netherlands. The re~ults are based on a publication of The Netherlands Central
Bureau of Statistics: Regional Accounts 1960, The Hague, Staatsuitgeverij, 1968.
Dr. Schilderinck and Mr. Sinner call special attention to the structure which
are concealed in the cumulated primary costs of the final demand categories.
Part I of the book deals particularly with a survey of this feature of input-output
analysis. Part II starts with comparing the production structure of each industry
in the eleven provinces of The Netherlands by means of semi-regional tables.
Next, authors analyse the structure of the induced income resulting from a
surplus or deficit of each industry on current final transactions per province.
Thanks to its methodical elaboration the book is a valuable guide to those
confronted with the problems of regional economic analysis.

Foreword
Input-output analysis is a method eminently suitable for the investigation of
economic structures.
The object of the investigation need not necessarily be a national economy. It
can also be provincial or regional economies, or the economy of a business.
What is necessary in each case is for the economy in question to be aggregated
into industries or departments, in respect of which profit and loss accounts are
drawn up, based on completely accurate descriptions and definitions which are
the same in the various industries or departments. This is an essential condition to
ensure that the individual profit and loss accounts may be incorporated in an
over-all table, the lines of which represent the profits (output, sales) of those
industries, and the colums the losses (input, purchases).
This over-all table is called an input-output table. In aggregated form it
represents the structure of the economy quantitatively, enabling various structure
analyses of that economy to be made (including analyses of the production
structure, the sales structure, the income structure, but also more detailed
analyses of the import and export structure, etc.)
This book is in two parts. The first part describes a few theoretical analysis
possibilities of the input-output table. The second part first compares the pro
duction structures of each industry of the Dutch economy in the eleven provinces
of the Netherlands. Next, a limited income structure analysis for the provinces
was drawn up. This required industrywise determination of the income structures
of the various provinces' balances with the rest of the Netherlands (the balance of
final expenditure, which may be either positive or negative) arising from the net
value added shares in the production processes of that industry, and in what
respects the individual provinces' income structures differ.
The data used in the investigation on which this book is based were taken from
'Regionale Rekeningen 1960', a report in two parts by the Dutch 'Centraal
Bureau voor de Statistiek'. However, the provincial input-output tables drawn up
by this Office are not strictly regional, for the output side of these provincial
tables relates not only to businesses located in that particular province, but also to
those located in other provinces. The input side - on the other hand - comprises
exclusively production data of enterprises in the province itself. As a result it is
not possible to indicate what influence the final demand of an industry in a
province has on the production and income structures within that province. It is
possible, however, to indicate the magnitude of the value added of cumulated
production and cumulated income in the combined provinces, which results from
the final demand of a province's industry, but these cumulated values are not split
up by provinces of origin.
Hence, although intra-provincial comparisons cannot be made, it is possible to
draw up interprovincial comparisons of production structure and income struc

ture.
Thanks to its host of data, the publication of 'Regionale Rekeningen 1960'
provides numerous possibilities for more profound economic analyses at pro
vinciallevel.
Finally, the authors are indebted to Miss R.C.A.M. Homman for the accuracy
in typing the manuscript, and to Mr. M. Janssens and Mr. C. van Iersel for
processing the necessary data.
