Abstract
According to the statistics, the primary agriculture production value and agriculture GDP of livestock sector in Taiwan was 31.94% and 11.13%, respectively. The value of primary livestock sector accounted for 0.15%- 0.25% of GDP in Taiwan. From the perspective of upstream and downstream industries, the contribution of livestock sector was undervalued. However, there were few literatures in this field. This paper analyzes the backward linkage effect, forward linkage effect, three types of multiplier effects and the added value of the livestock sector by using input-output analysis. The results show that the estimated index of forward linkage is 0.9267 and index of backward linkage is 1.4569. We can refer that livestock sector is a leading industry which easily pushes forward other industries but hardly effected by other industries. This study also estimates the multipliers under exogenous and endogenous household circumstances. The income multiplier in livestocksector ranks first under both circumstances; the production multiplier ranks first under exogenous circumstances and second under endogenous circumstances. In terms of added value, the livestock sector and related industries contribute to 24.14-26.08% of the agriculture GDP and 2.74-3.02% of overall GDP during 2006-2011. The added values are both higher than the GDP percentages of primary livestock sector mentioned at the beginning. The contributions of livestock sector are obvious according to input-output analysis. To sum up, the results indicate the importance of livestock sector and agriculture development in Taiwan.
