Abstract
In the last times Network Theory has emerged as a rigorous metodology to analyse the structural characteristics of complex systems that can be applicable to economics. There have also been critisms doubting about contribution to the knowledge already obtained from the traditional lnput-Output theory. This paper compares the results obtained from tradiúonal lnput-output measures and from network in­dicators. Data correspond to lnput-Outpul tables from twenty two countries, with different development level, In 1000. lt wlll be shown that both methodologies (lnput-Outpul apd Network) imply complemen­tary techniques offering richer conclusions. The use oí Network Theory allows for a better understanding oi the structural differences that can be related to economlc development.
