Risk Anal. 2010 Jun;30(6):962-74. doi: 10.1111/j.1539-6924.2010.01373.x. Epub 2010 Feb 25.

Abstract

This article introduces approaches for identifying key interdependent infrastructure sectors based on the inventory dynamic inoperability input-output model, which integrates an inventory model and a risk-based interdependency model. An identification of such key sectors narrows a policymaker's focus on sectors providing most impact and receiving most impact from inventory-caused delays in inoperability resulting from disruptive events. A case study illustrates the practical insights of the key sector approaches derived from a value of workforce-centered production inoperability from Bureau of Economic Analysis data.
