Title: Regional economic impact assessment with missing input-output data: a spatial econometrics approach for Poland
Author-Name: Andrzej Torój 
Abstract: We propose a novel method of constructing multisector-multiregion input-output tables, based on the standard multisector tables and the tools of spatial econometrics. Voivodship-level (NUTS-2)and subregion-level data (NUTS-3) on sectoral value added is used to fit a spatial model, based on a modification of the Durbin model. The structural coefficients are calibrated, based on I-O multipliers, while the spatial weight matrices are estimated as parsimoniously parametrized functions of physical distance and limited supply in certain regions. We incorporate additionalrestrictions to derive proportions in which every cross-sectoral row should be interpolated into cross-regional row matrix. All calculations are based on publicly available data. The method is illustrated with an example of regional economic impact assessment for a generic construction company located in Eastern Poland.
