The hollowing out process in the Chicago economy, 1975-2011
The metropolitan economy of Chicago has experienced a significant transformation in its economic structure over the past twenty years.

In this paper, an alternative perspective is employed. What do regional macro-level forecasts indicate about the process of structural change? A new methodology is illustrated that enables analysts to make forecasts of detailed structural change in the interindustry relations in an economy. Using a regional ...
