Abstract
In this chapter we illustrate how to deal with dependence among the elements of the same level of a hierarchy (inner dependence) with an application we made in the design of the Transportation System for the Sudan. The outcome of this analysis was an input–output table which parallels the work of econometricians. This application was done a few years after the Sudan Transport Study was finished.

It is illustrated here that the general understanding one has about interactions in an economic system is often adequate for making estimates of input-output coefficients without the use of an enormous amount of data.
