Presentation of the research paper “A Practitioner’s Guide for Building the Interregional Input-Output System for Morocco, 2013”
Ministry of Economy and Finance, Rabat
by invitation
OCP Policy Center and the Ministry of Economy and Finance organize the presentation of a research paper entitled “A Practitioner’s Guide for Building the Interregional Input-Output System for Morocco, 2013” ensured by Professor Eduardo Amaral Haddad in the premises of the Ministry of Economy and Finance in Rabat.
This paper reports on the recent developments in the construction of an interregional input-output matrix for Morocco (IIOM-MOR). As part of an ongoing project that aims to develop an interregional CGE (ICGE) model for the country, a fully specified interregional input-output database was developed under conditions of limited information. Such database is needed for future calibration of the ICGE model. This research venture is part of a technical cooperation initiative involving researchers from the Regional and Urban Economics Lab at the University of São Paulo (NEREUS), in Brazil, the OCP Policy Center and Studies and Financial Forecasts Department, in Morocco. This input-output matrix for Morocco provides the opportunity to better understand the spatial linkage structure associated with the Moroccan economy in the context of its 12 regions, and 20 different sectors/products. This report describes the process by which the IIOM-MOR was constructed under the conditions of limited information for the regions in Morocco.
