  • Abstract:

    This paper employs seven input-output tables in the comparative study of long-term changes in new and maintenance and repair (M&R) construction technology in the US from 1947 to 1982. The 1982 table was made available in 1991. Input-output analysis is used to show the differences between direct and total input requirements of the two sub-sectors. Significant differences are reported in terms of backward linkage indicators and output multipliers, as well as direct and total requirements from the key industries supplying the two construction sub-sectors. As the share of M&R construction in total construction continues to increase, these differences in technology employed by the two sub-sectors will have an important effect on the national economy as a whole.
