Summary
Introduction
The heart of any input–output analysis is the table of input–output coefficients describing the relationships between inputs and outputs for a particular economy. To produce a table based on a survey of establishments in the economy is an expensive and time consuming task, not only at a national level, but also for regions (states, counties, metropolitan areas, etc.). In this chapter we examine some approaches that attempt to adapt older tables to reflect more recent economic conditions or to borrow information in a table for one economy to use for a different economy. In a very general way, these may be thought of as modifications of tables over time or across space, respectively.
The Question of Stability of Input–Output Data
One of the most serious concerns of those who use input–output models in applied work is that the table of technical coefficients available to them for the economy that they are studying will generally reflect data from a much earlier year. For example, a survey-based or so-called benchmark US input–output table based upon 2002 transactions was not generally available until 2007. These time lags reflect the fact that when establishments in different industries are surveyed for information regarding their purchases of inputs and their sales of output, it takes a great deal of time to obtain the data, organize the information, and reconcile inconsistencies – for example, reported purchases of sector i goods by sector j establishments may differ from reported sales by sector i to sector j establishments.
