This paper analyzes reverse transformations between input-output tables and supply-use tables, finding the product technology assumption yields plausible results while the industry technology assumption produces economically implausible price and quantity changes.

The paper studies input-output balance modeling by analyzing how “reverse transformations” connect exogenous changes in net final demand in symmetric input-output tables (SIOT) to corresponding changes in the production and intermediate consumption matrices in underlying supply-and-use tables (SUT). Using systems of equations that include the material balance equation and the classical Leontief equation combined with either product (commodity) technology or industry technology assumptions, the author shows one solution that keeps final demand changes at constant prices. In contrast, an alternative system using the industry technology model yields results where varying final demand leads to quantity changes in intermediate consumption and price changes in production, which the author argues is an implausible artifact.

Abstract

Abstract One of the main aims of constructing input-output balance models is to assess an impact of exogenous changes in net final demand (certainly at constant prices) on simultaneous behavior of an economy. Nowadays, two approaches to constructing input-output coefficients are widely used in practice, namely, one based on so-called product technology assumption and another based on so-called industry technology assumption. These approaches provide direct transforming supply and use tables (SUT) to symmetric input-output tables (SIOT) in a product-by-product format.Focus of attention in the article is concentrated on analyzing the reverse transformations that link exogenous changes of final demand in SIOT with corresponding changes of the production and intermediate consumption matrices in initial SUT. Material balance equation, classical Leontief equation and product (or commodity) technology model form the system of equations with production and intermediate consumption matrices as unknowns. It is shown that this system has the solution that guarantees the exogenous changes in final demand to be at constant prices.In turn, material balance equation, classical Leontief equation and industry technology model constitute another system of equations (with the same unknowns) that can be also resolved with respect to production matrix and intermediate consumption matrix. However, exogenous varying the final demand in obtained solution leads to quantity changes in the intermediate consumption matrix and to price changes in the production matrix. This type of economy’s response to exogenous changes in final demand seems to be implausible artifact that is out of economic sense. Thus, there are some certain doubts about plausibility of underlying background for an industry technology assumption and a fixed product sales structure assumption that are widely used for transforming SUT to SIOT.JEL Classification: C67; D57
