As part of the international input-output 2024 conference, which will take place between July 1 and 5 in Santiago de Chile at the Economic Commission for Latin American and the Caribbean, a Roundtable for policymakers has been organized in which four experts linked from various points of view will participate, with decision-making linked to policy applications. Some of the applications to review are the signing of free trade agreements, the analysis of the effects of globalization on trade, employment, and economic growth, as well as the use of input-output applications for case studies. All of them will participate by sharing their experiences using technical tools linked to input-product matrices for policy analysis and advice to help the governments develop policies that contribute to more inclusive and sustainable growth.
Some of the topics to discuss are:
• Ex ante results of public policies such as the removal of tariff barriers.
• Analysis of structural changes based on the input-product model, specifically in final demand, foreign trade, and labor productivity.
• Macroeconomic effects of changes in public policy. Some examples are increased taxes, increases in foreign investment, or financial stimuli at the sector level.
• Application of general equilibrium models to the analysis of trade, food security, and the environment.
