Abstract
For some planning purposes national forecasts are adequate. But one of the outstanding characteristics of the American economy is its geographic diversity. Certain types of economic activities — generally those serving local or regional markets — are almost ubiquitous. But other sectors serve national markets, and within these sectors there is considerable regional specialisation. This specialisation provides the rationale for regional input-output studies.
