Marine Policy

Perception of the importance of the marine industry is crucial for marine policy measures. Based on China's input–output tables for 2002, 2007, and 2012, this study disaggregates 12 major marine sectors as exogenous and assesses the impacts of China's marine industry by determining the inter-industry linkage effect, the production-inducing effect, the sectoral supply shortage effect, and the employment-inducing effect. These models are effective in estimating the contribution of the marine industry and explore the evolution of marine industrial structure. Finally, policy applications are proposed to provide reliable and useful information for China's policymakers to promote marine policies and manage the marine system.
