| Sammanfattning: | This paper endeavors to establish a methodological framework for regional planning by employing applicable scientific approaches to determine economic activity levels across various sectors and regions simultaneously. The analysis adopts a two-dimensional perspective, encompassing both aggregate production and the corresponding investment programs, thereby enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the interrelations between economic growth and investment allocation.
The study introduces a systematic classification of economic sectors into regional, national, and international categories, according to their mobility across regions and countries. Furthermore, it differentiates between shiftable and non-shiftable sectors based on production costs rather than transportation costs, offering a more realistic and empirically grounded assessment of sectoral flexibility.
The proposed model is designed to ensure a balanced distribution of economic activities across regions and sectors by identifying the optimal spatial allocation of activities in accordance with their structural characteristics. While the model is relatively simple and built upon a set of approximations, it provides an effective analytical tool for estimating sectoral income at constant prices for each sector within each region. For illustrative purposes, the study employs a simplified experimental framework consisting of three regions and five aggregated sectors.
The findings highlight that integrating the regional and sectoral dimensions constitutes a critical prerequisite for the formulation of development plans that are both balanced and effective, thereby enhancing the capacity to design economic strategies capable of addressing regional disparities and promoting sustainable development. |
