Input-Output Analysis

« Back to Glossary Index

Input-output analysis is a macroeconomic analysis that studies the sectoral interrelationships of the economic system, quantifying the purchases each sector or field of activity makes from others, the value added generated by it, and the percentages of sales of its products that go to the end consumer or to other sectors as raw materials or intermediate goods. The analysis also includes relationships with the external sector (imports and exports). An input-output table is used.
