Regional Input–Output Tables and the FLQ Formula: A Case Study of Finland [PDF]
Regional Studies, 2013 This paper examines the use of location quotients (LQs) in constructing regional input-output tables. Its focus is on the modified FLQ formula proposed by Flegg and Webber (1997). Using data for 20 Finnish regions of widely different size, we develop a regression model to help select an appropriate value for the unknown parameter δ in this formula.
