In PABalland/EconGeo: Computing Key Indicators of the Spatial Distribution of Economic Activities

Generate a matrix of industrial growth in regions from two regions - industries matrices (same matrix composition from two different periods)

Description

This function generates a matrix of industrial growth in regions from two regions - industries matrices (same matrix composition from two different periods)

Usage

growth.mat(mat1, mat2)

Arguments

mat1	An incidence matrix with regions in rows and industries in columns (period 1)
mat2	An incidence matrix with regions in rows and industries in columns (period 2)

Examples

## generate a first region - industry matrix with full count (period 1)
set.seed(31)
mat1 <- matrix(sample(0:10,20,replace=T), ncol = 4)
rownames(mat1) <- c ("R1", "R2", "R3", "R4", "R5")
colnames(mat1) <- c ("I1", "I2", "I3", "I4")

## generate a second region - industry matrix with full count (period 2)
mat2 <- mat1
mat2[3,1] <- 8


## run the function
growth.mat (mat1, mat2)
