Compare the results of input-output table of: Khuzestan province, estimated two methods: CHARM and AFLQ

Estimations the Survey-based regional input-output table is costly. Consequently, Researches use non-survey based methods. In this Article, By using two non-survey based Methods, CHARM and AFLQ, input-output table of Khuzestan province is estimated. The CHARM method provides the possibility of estimation of export, cross-hauling and degree of heterogeneity, while AFLQ method considers Adjusted of regional size and specialized sector. The results indicate that according backward and forward indicators, ranking sectors is completely different. In CHARM method, according backward linkage, basic metals and according forward linkage other mines are leading.
