Development of regional input-output tables for Northern Ghana: An analysis using location quotient methods
AbstractWe developed regional input–output tables for Northern Ghana using the latest 2018 national input-output table for Ghana and the 2021 Ghana population and housing census data. Four variants of the location quotient concept, based on employment data for 17 industries, were used for the deriva...

| description | AbstractWe developed regional input–output tables for Northern Ghana using the latest 2018 national input-output table for Ghana and the 2021 Ghana population and housing census data. Four variants of the location quotient concept, based on employment data for 17 industries, were used for the derivation of output impact multipliers. A comparative output analysis of the results was undertaken using the derived regional multipliers compared to those generated from analysis involving national data. The Round location quotient (RLQ) was the best of the four location quotients assessed for the regionalization of the national input–output table. The results of the analysis using the RLQ are consistent with evidence from secondary sources dealing with Northern Ghana based on economic output impacts. |
