The assessment of the major impact of economic events is based primarily on the input-output model. In all of the existing input-output models exact information is used. Yet, in real life, we can never usually find such exact information for problems in particular related to the future. An expansion of the input-output model is the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and the SAM builds on Leontief's input-output tables. In this paper we construct a SAM model for a regional economy and initial information is described by interval numbers. For the given region Northern Cyprus, where a scarcity of data exists, interval information based SAM, based on the best available information is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is focused on tourism sector and the social accounting matrix analysis. Tourism sector defined by Hotels and Restaurants Sector. This sector can provides a lot of opportunities for sustainable economic development. This study found three findings based on multiplier analysis. First, poor households income is higher than rich household income in rural. Second, rich household income is higher than poor households income in urban. Third, labor production factor is higher than capital production factor. Our recomendation, tourism sector can developed by government, because it will be effective for poor household in rural and it can reduce unemployment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we describe the structure of the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model and data that enables estimation of certain policy changes in Croatia. Namely, we build a 5-sector (households, firms, government, investors and foreigners) economy model while our economy is disaggregated on three highly aggregated sectors. Afterwards, we present Croatian data which enables us to simulate the model in Nadoveza, Sekur and Penava (upcoming). These data are seen as snapshot of established equilibrium in 2010 in Croatia and they represent the main input for the CGE models. Finally, we conduct the reality check of our calibrated parameters.
