Assertion (A) : In Leontief's Open Input-Output Model, some of the production is consumed by those who produce it and rest of the production is consumed by external bodies such as households, Government and so on.
Reason (R) : The objective in the Leontief's Open Input-Output Model is to find the relative income of each participant in the system.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Leontief's Open Input-Output Model describes an economy where the total output from each sector is used in two ways:
Assertion (A) accurately reflects this, stating that production is partly consumed by producers (intermediate consumption) and the rest by external entities. Therefore, Assertion (A) is correct.
The primary objective of Leontief's Open Input-Output Model is analytical, not distributional in terms of income. Its main goal is to calculate the total output required from each sector of the economy to satisfy a specific level of final demand. It helps understand the interdependencies between sectors and the impact of changes in final demand on the entire economy.
Finding the relative income of participants is not the direct objective of this model. Therefore, Reason (R) is incorrect.
Based on the analysis, Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is incorrect. This corresponds to Option C.
