Description
Summary:An economic structure can be understood as a network of industries related to the exchange of produced goods. The Input-Output model analyses sectoral interdependence in such structures. In this paper, we identify a North American network in a trilateral IO table. We use a density measure as an indicator of the degree of integration. Results show that the US economy determines the profile of the North American structure. Canada and Mexico maintain scarce direct relationships and their regional integration determines their economic structures.
