NEW PUBLICATION IN THE JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC STRUCTURES

The GEAR Group has recently published our’s first contribution developed in collaboration with Enrique Gilles, Faculty of Business, Finance, and Economics EAN University Bogota, Colombia.

The paper, entitled “Nesting a city input–output table in a multiregional framework: a case example with the city of Bogota” presents a novel contribution in the field input-output developments for cities. First, we propose the nesting of the Bogota IO table in an MRIO model with Colombia and the rest of the countries presented in the OECD database. Second, we develope an evaluation of the role of the city of Bogota throughout the Global Value Chains.

We hope this is the first contribution of a productive collaboration with Enrique.

We hope you enjoy it!
