ETH-Diss. 2005 Benjamin Buser als empirische Bestätigung Fallstudien regionalwirtschaftlicher Kreislaufmodelle (Input-/Output-Tabellen für die Regionen Val Bregaglia (GR), Val Müstair (GR), Urserntal (UR), Brig-Visp-Naters (VS) und Vallemaggia (TI) zur Prüfung wachstumspolitischer Prioritäten. Zusammengefasstes Ergebnis = regionales Wirtschaftswachstum für die Regionen im schweizerischen Alpenraum ist zweistufiger Prozess. 1. Langfristiges Wachstum durch die weltweite Belieferung ungesättigter Märkte findet ausschliesslich in nationalen und internationalen Zentren statt. 2. Die Regionen des schweizerischen Alpenraums können einzig durch Exporttätigkeiten dieses Wachstum langfristig übernehmen. Hierzu müssen die Regionen ihre wirtschaftlichen Tätigkeiten auf die Nachfrage der wachsenden Zentren ausrichten. Exportmärkte müssen von den Regionen aus erweitert und erschlossen werden.
