The paper examines the accuracy of the output multiplier derived by the estimated regional input–output tables, comparing with the survey-based Provincial input–output tables. The result shows us that LQ and CIQ of 10 provinces (one third of the total region) is better than FLQ, and AFLQ gives better estimates in all regions under the appropriate δ value, compared to LQ and CIQ. However, a reasonable value for δ, which has been reported a relatively stable in previous research, would be widely distributed for both FLQ and AFLQ for all provinces. Therefore, the regional size does not matter in regionalization by the FLQ formula based on empirical evidence.}, title = {DOES REGIONAL SIZE MATTER IN REGIONALIZATION OF NATIONAL INPUT–OUTPUT TABLE BY THE FLQ FORMULA? –A CASE STUDY OF CHINA –}, volume = {222}, year = {2014} }
