Sažetak	The location quotient (LQ) is a simple descriptive index that measures how concentrated an industry is in a region relative to a larger reference area, usually the nation. It is the ratio of the industry's share of local employment (or output) to its share of national employment. An LQ above one means the region is more specialized in that industry than the nation as a whole; an LQ below one means it is under-represented.	Input-output analysis is a quantitative framework for representing the interdependence between the industries of an economy, introduced by Wassily Leontief in 1936. It records the flows of goods and services between sectors in a transactions table, derives fixed technical coefficients describing how much each industry buys from every other industry per unit of output, and inverts the resulting linear system to trace how an exogenous change in final demand ripples through the entire production structure.	Shift-share analysis is a descriptive technique that decomposes the change in a regional variable — most often sectoral employment — into three additive components: the part attributable to overall national growth, the part attributable to the region's industry mix, and the part attributable to the region's own competitive performance. Formalized by Edgar Dunn in 1960, it answers whether a region grew because the national economy grew, because it specializes in fast-growing industries, or because its industries outperformed (or underperformed) their national counterparts.
