Abstract
The present article aims at measuring the final demand im-pact on the forest-based industry by using the 1998 State of Paraná so-cial accounting matrix as the analysis tool. We also had to calculate
the matrix multipliers. The increased effects of exogenous activity on
the Wood/Furniture and Paper/Pulp activities brought a more intense
demand shock to that sector. We noticed that the Wood and Furniture
activity is mostly connected with the tertiary sector activities, while the
Paper and Pulp activity is mostly connected with activities that need
packing. Finally, we could identify the main impacts originated by an
increased final demand in spite of the reduction in the number of Paraná
Social Accounting Matrix economic activities.
