In order to revitalize Taiwan’s domestic economy, the government in recent years has been actively promoting investment in public construction. To assess the effect of such investment, government planners usually use the macroeconomic and general equilibrium models. But though these two models together cover an extensive array of equations and variables, they cannot easily be used to generate detailed sectoral data. The input-output model, however, can be used not only to simulate the macroeconomic effect of government policy, but also to measure the input and output effects of policy in each sector. In this paper, we use the Leontief input-output model and semi-closed model to compute the household income multiplier and income effect for each industrial sector, using the input-output tables for 1999, 2001 and 2004 to analyze the policy effects of public construction. This study finds that, in the public and other construction sectors between 1999 and 2004, the household income multiplier on the economy was markedly greater than the income effect. Through the cycle waves and effects of consumption, income and production, the total income multiplier on the economy (GDP) was more conspicuous, or in other words, the total income multiplier value was greater than the income effect. |
