Abstract
This paper develops a number of test statistics based on the method of minimum discrimination information to analyze the structural interdependence of the Nigerian economy. The null hypotheses of homogeneity and independence provide adequate basis for comprehendinq interindustrial relations in a lucid way. Subsequent developments of the methodology could revolutionize classical methods of input-output analysis, the identification of key sectors of an economy and the simulation modelling of intersectoral flows in national, regional and metropolitan economic systems.
