Abstract
Now we are in the era of endless free competition game, in which all regions in the world compete with eachother in regional land planning. In this paper, a method is offered that appreciate the ability of this competition game of each region by ranking with some indicator. And by this method, an appreciation is presented by analysing Japanese regional policy that develope local industry of service. It's carried out by using interregional input-output table (9 areas). It divides Japanese territory to 9 areas and try to rank these 9 areas with indicators computed from the model that adopts social-welfare-fuction approach.
By raising up the coefficients of the table from local industry of service, this model presents the situation of industrial structure which the local or central government should have achieved to develope local industry of service. Of course, this model dosen't simulate the situation exactly. But by compairing two type of situations, the one is supposed to be achieved by central government and the other is by local government, we can get the character of the local industrial structure and the ability of the competition game with each other. It shows a kind of direction of regional industrial policy.
