A risk-based approach for identifying key economic and infrastructure systems.
This article introduces approaches for identifying key interdependent infrastructure sectors based on the inventory dynamic inoperability input-output model, which integrates an inventory model and a risk-based interdependency model. An identification of such key sectors narrows a policymaker's focus on sectors providing most impact and receiving most impact from inventory-caused delays in inoperability resulting from disruptive events. A case study illustrates the practical insights of the key sector approaches derived from a value of workforce-centered production inoperability from Bureau of Economic Analysis data.
