WP 11-19 - Exportations, hétérogénéité des entreprises et emploi en Belgique : une analyse entrées-sorties [WP 11-19 - Uitvoer, heterogeniteit van de ondernemingen en werkgelegenheid in België: een input-outputanalyse]

This paper presents an estimation of employment sustained directly and indirectly by exports based on an export-heterogeneous input-output table. In this table, manufacturing industries are disaggregated according to the exporter status of firms in order to account for within-industry differences in input structures. According to our results, export-sustained employment in Belgium amounted to 1.32 million jobs in 2010, which corresponds to 29.5Â % of total employment.
