The Input-Output Table (IOT), developed by Wassily Leontief, is an accounting-statistical tool that allows capturing the interrelation of the productive sectors of an economy and analyzing its productive structure. Its use has been driven by state agencies (sub-national and national) motivated by the interest of having information for policy makers.This paper presents a first regional breakthrough in the case of the Greater Santa Fe metropolitan area. In this case, the construction of the IOT has the peculiarity of has been initiated by researchers from the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Santa Fe, Argentina) with a double purpose. On the one hand, to provide a tool for policy makers. And on the other hand, the results can be used by the research group to advance knowledge on the subject. The specific purpose of this paper is to estimate a Technical Coefficients Matrix of for the Greater Santa Fe.The adopted approach was a regionalization of the IOT developed by the OECD for the 2015 at its 2018 version. It has 36 sectors classified according to ISIC Revision 4th. For regionalization, employment statistics registered on Argentina and the Great Santa Fe were used. For the national case, the jobs registered by sector of economic activity in the private sector for the year 2015 (INDEC-SIPA) were taken into account. Statistics on the public sector (administration, education and health) were completed by data from the Income Generation Account, first quarter 2017 (INDEC). In the case of the Greater Santa Fe, the data presented by Santa Fe ?How are we going? were taken into account; from the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security (MTEySS) Santa Fe and the Integrated Retirement and Pension System (SIJYP) of AFIP. Again, public sector data were incorporated from information in another database. In particular, the total employed population was used in the Administ. Public Defense and Social Security; information provided by the EPH (INDEC-IPEC). The regionalization method consisted in a sectorization?s process; from 36 to 20 industries and then was applied a new proportionality by the Location Quotient (Morrison & Smith, 1974).The results indicated that the development of this first approach to the economic structure of the Greater Santa Fe provides relevant qualitative and quantitative contributions. The first are related to the changes of sectoral typologies. The most important were related to the Financial Intermediation and Accommodation and Restaurant Services sectors, which now form key sectors of the Santa Fe economy, while absorbing 11% of employment. Quantitative contributions pointed to the differential importance in relative employment and in improved linkages; This was the case of Computer and Communication Services, Commerce and the Public Sector. Another point that stands out is the place occupied by water provision services, which indicates that they are a strategic activity for Santa Fe production. Fundamentally if the importance of the Food and Beverage industry is taken into account; as an activity that strongly requires its provision.
