Abstract:
In a paper published four years ago,' inputoutput
analysis was used to estimate the effect
of such a change in the structure of final demand
on the industrial distribution of the labor
force for the country as a whole. The present
study carries that inquiry one step further. The
impact of the hypothetical shift from military
to civilian demand is projected here not only in
inter-industrial, but also in inter-regional terms.
Specifically, the territory of the continental
United States has been subdivided into 19 distinct
regions, and the shift in the industrial composition
of output and employment was assessed
for each one of them.
