District-level economic linkages in Kenya: Evidence based on a small regional social accounting matrix
基于肯尼亚一个市场中心及其腹地的小型区域社会核算矩阵，计算收入和就业乘数，分析生产活动对区域增加值、就业和家庭收入的影响，以及生产和消费联系对总收入的相对重要性，为地区级经济规划提供参考。
This paper explores the nature and extent of the economic linkages in a small regional economy defined by a market center and its hinterland in Kenya. The analysis is based on a set of income and employment multipliers derived from a social accounting matrix estimated for the region. Issues considered include the impact of production activities on regional value added and employment; the influence of sectoral production on the level of household income and the impact of household expenditure on regional value added; and the relative significance of production and consumption linkages in terms of stimulating aggregate income. The above questions are examined under the assumption of complete excess capacity in regional production and under the assumption of supply constraints in agriculture. The usefulness of the analysis for district level economic planning is demonstrated.
