Input-output multipliers of Croatian ICT sectors

Change of production technology under the influence of technical progress over the time leads to a potential change in technical coefficients. In order to get a better insight of the impact and importance of the certain sector of interest to the national economy over observed period, comparison of multiplier effects of particular productive sector based on two input-output tables is of great benefit. The aim of this paper is to estimate type I and type II output, gross value added and employment multipliers of Croatian ICT sectors. The comparison of output, gross value added and employment multipliers of ICT sectors was based on input-output tables for Croatian economy for the year 2010 and 2015. Open input-output model was used in direct and indirect effects determination. Induced effects were quantified based on closed input-output model. In 2015, all Croatian ICT sectors recorded lower type I and type II output and gross value added multipliers in comparison with 2010, with the exception of sector J61 - Telecommunications services. In terms of employment, only sector J58 - Publishing services recorded type I and type II multipliers growth. Lower multipliers are result of more intensive international integration of Croatian ICT sectors after accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union.
