Multi-regional input-output (MRIO) matrices are crucial for regional economic analysis in Argentina, where official data is limited. This paper presents Argentina's first MRIO table for 2019, covering 5 regions and 20 economic sectors, using official and restricted sources. The analysis reveals high concentration in the Pampeana region's economic output, though external inputs are more distributed. The study identifies key economic links in peripheral regions, highlighting the interaction between location and sector specialization in Argentina's federal economy.
