RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DIFFERENT SERVICE SEGMENTS AND THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS FROM NA INPUT-OUTPUT MATRIX

Abstract

This study examines the changes that have occurred in the last decades in
the links between the different activities of the economy, especially in the links between
service and manufacturing activities. This analysis examines the links (directions) and intensities (value) of the intersectoral relations of the world’s largest economies in 1995 and
2010. The research is structured in two basic points: 1) review of theoretical approaches
on evolution and the links between manufacturing and service activities in the economy,
and; 2) indicators estimated from the combination of the Network Analysis (Pajek software) on data from the national input-output matrices (WIOD, 2014). The results point
to a strong complementarity between the manufacturing and some services segments.
