Idesia [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.3, pp.81-92. ISSN 0718-3429.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-34292017005000402.

In this paper we analyze and compare the economic changes, similarities, linkages and impacts made by the agriculture-forestry sectors in the Chilean Patagonia's major hubs (Valdivia, Osorno, Puerto Montt, Coyhaique and Punta Arenas) between 2007 and 2012, thus using an input-output model. Changes and economic similarities were identified with the rate of Le Masne (1988), while the economic linkages were determined with the technique of Hypothetical extraction by Dietzenbacher and van der Linden (1997); similarly, the measurement of impact the economic changes was made by using the method proposed by Soza-Amigo (2008), which is a modification of the dispersion coefficients presented by Rao and Harmston (1979). The questions to answer in this research are, There was any similarity or common structural changes in the main hubs oriented to agriculture and forestry? And, Are the economic linkages and impacts from the agriculture and forestry sector higher than the average of the economic activities? According to the results, no changes were experienced by the economic structures, as the economic linkages and impacts of agriculture and forestry sectors remained under the average.

Palabras clave : similarities and structural changes; productive vocation; Patagonia.
