Provincial Inter-Industry Output Trends by Sector Based on IRIO (2010–2019). (a), (c), and (e) display three volatile sectors: S14 (Computer, electronic and optical equipment), S21 (Information transfer, software and IT services), and S22 (Financial and insurance activities). (b), (d), and (f) show three stable sectors: S16 (Electricity, gas, water supply, sewerage, waste and remediation services), S23 (Real estate activities), and S26 (Public administration and defence). Each line represents the total output of a sector in a specific province: gray = Beijing, red = Henan, blue = Shanghai, and green = Chongqing. The output is measured by the IRIO row sum, indicating the sector’s total intermediate input to the rest of China.

FIS Output Trends by Sector and Province Based on OE-IRIO (2010-2019). a–f show the OE-IRIO row sum (sector’s total intermediate output to the rest of China) for sectors S14, S16, S21, S23, S22 and S26, respectively. Colored dots and lines represent provinces: gray = Beijing, red = Henan, blue = Shanghai, green = Chongqing.

Topology of the GDFEBN-PRC model. (a) and (b)shows the network structure in 2010, and panel (b) shows the structure in 2019. Red nodes represent domestic-invested sectors (DIS), and blue nodes represent foreign-invested sectors (FIS). Node size reflects node degree, indicating the level of connectivity within the network.
