Summary	The Ghosh model is the supply-side counterpart to the Leontief demand-driven input-output system, introduced by Ambica Ghosh in 1958. Rather than fixing the recipe of inputs per unit of output, it fixes allocation coefficients — the share of each sector's output sold to every downstream buyer — and asks how a change in the supply of primary inputs (value added) propagates forward to total output. Solving x' = x'B + w' gives x' = w'(I − B)^{-1}, where the Ghosh inverse G = (I − B)^{-1} plays the forward-looking role that the Leontief inverse plays for demand.	Input-output multiplier analysis converts the Leontief inverse into summary impact coefficients that answer how much total output, household income, or employment an economy generates per unit of final demand directed at a given sector. Building directly on Leontief's inter-industry accounting, it distinguishes the initial direct effect from the indirect supply-chain effect and, in the Type II form, the induced effect of household re-spending, yielding the multipliers that underpin most regional and project economic-impact studies.
