Austria 2025 – Regional Aspects of Global Value Added Chains. Position of the Austrian Länder in the Global Economy

This paper presents the derivation of regional input-output tables for the Austrian federal states ("Länder") for the base year of 2011. These tables are consistently integrated into the WIOD system, which describes the supply and use of 63 goods in 43 countries. The resulting multiregional input-output system forms the basis for the analysis of the role of Austria's Länder in global value chains and for a discussion of regional differences. The analysis of this input-output system reveals interregional linkages as an important driver of the regional distribution of export-induced value added, with Vienna being the strongest beneficiary of such regional spillovers. As a percentage of regional value added, however, exports are most important for Vorarlberg and Upper Austria.
