Resumen
The oil sector represents a key-sector of the Ecuadorian
economy, characterised
by a high level of value added and a high weight in the national exports. This paper tries
to
find out whether the oil sector is able to induce positive effects for other economic
sectors,
and to also measure these effects in comparison with those generated by other sectors. The
empirical analysis uses the income and employment multipliers, which are derived from
Leontief Input-Output tables. The results indicate that the Ecuadorian oil sector is the
most
independent one, so that policies enhancing stronger linkages with other sectors are highly
recommended.
