It is widely recognized that the interregional cooperation is important for promoting mutual economic growth. The interregional cooperation should be implemented with the fundamental understanding for the interregional trade and industrial linkage among regions. However, the literature shows that there have been relatively few empirical attempts to analyze this issue. This study attempts to construct a multi-region input-output table for analyzing the interregional trade and industrial linkage in Chungcheong region which is consisted of Chungnam Province, Deajeon metropolitan city, and Chungbok Province. The analysis of interregional trade shows that Chungcheong region is strongly interrelated with each others. These mean that the possibility of the interregional cooperation exists. In addition, this study suggests interregional cooperation fields based on the result. Finally, the industrial linkage among regions is analyzed in terms of interregional forward linkage and interregional backward linkage.
