The main Kuwaiti economy for the  years 1970/1, 1972/3 and 1975/6 was to choose the scenario from a set of input-output tables that best elaborated the importance and weigh of marginal distribution ratios among 24 sectors. A model based on an input-output technique was chosen, after adjusting the Kuwaiti data so as to fit the purpose of the model.

The general conclusions were as follow:

-                               The most accurate and best scenario, i.e. the one that illustrates the importance and weight of marginal distribution ratios in the economy, was the domestic input-output table with a separate division for indirect taxes.

-                               During the period of the study, the production sectors continuously ranked at the top of the table, while service sectors remained at the bottom.
