South-East Region in Bulgaria: Economic Performance and Key Sectors Analysis
Zusammenfassung
The present paper attempts to provide insight into the economic
performance of the South-east region (SER) of Bulgaria by presenting quantitative
relationships between sectors in the regional economy. Methodologically it is based
on the construction of the regional Input–Output model. It was carried out trough
applying the non-servey GRIT technique, based on Flegg & Webber location
quotient (2000). The dirived Rasmussen & Hirschman backward linkages and
Mattas & Shrestha input-output elasticities from the model enable to identify the
key economic sectors within the region. This could be considered as a starting point
for the future impact assesment of different EU policies, as well as designing of
better regional development strategies, assuring better economic performance.
