Analyzing the Changes of Total Output of Japanese Livestock Sector: An Input – Output Approach

AbstractThe objective of this study is to investigate the dynamics of total output of Japanese livestock sector caused by final demand changes. This study employs input – output analysis as a tool of analysis and two conditions in order to describe those changes. Those conditions are “whole sector change” and “pure change”. The results show that those conditions have different pattern. This study has similar suggestion to both conditions regarding import activity, namely the restriction of this is needed in order to increase the total output of Japanese livestock sector on future period
