Abstract

This study examines the intersectoral relationships among 20 first-level economic sectors in Vietnam, utilizing data from the 2012 Input-Output Table published by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam in 2015. Through the calculation of cost share ratios, backward and forward linkages, dispersion coefficients, and sensitivity indices, the research elucidates the extent of sectoral interdependencies and their economic impact. The quantitative findings from the research process not only provide a comprehensive view of the economic structure but also serve as a reference basis for promoting the evaluation of Vietnam's important economic sectors in the period after 2015.
