The Concept of Accuracy in Regional Input-Output Models
TLDR
Two interpretations of accuracy, namely partitive and holistic accuracy, are discussed with reference to interpretation of input-output tables, and some suggested criteria for holistic accuracy are provided.Abstract:
This paper focuses attention on the concept of accuracy in regional input-output tables. Two interpretations of accuracy, namely partitive and holistic accuracy, are discussed with reference to interpretation of input-output tables. Implications are drawn from recent contributions to the regional input-output literature in terms of the ‘reconciliation’ debate and the survey versus non-survey debate. Holistic accuracy is the only concept which is tenable in practice; some suggested criteria for holistic accuracy are provided.read more

Building eora: a global multi-region input–output database at high country and sector resolution
TL;DR: The results from a project aimed at creating an MRIO account that represents all countries at a detailed sectoral level, allows continuous updating, provides information on data reliability, contains table sheets expressed in basic prices as well as all margins and taxes, and contains a historical time series are described.

Mapping the structure of the world economy.
TL;DR: A new series of environmentally extended multi-region input-output (MRIO) tables with applications in carbon, water, and ecological footprinting, and Life-Cycle Assessment, as well as trend and key driver analyses, significantly advances the previous state of art.

Economic Principles, Issues, and Research Priorities in Hazard Loss Estimation
TL;DR: The quantification of economic losses from natural and manmade hazards is necessary to gauge individual and community vulnerability, evaluate the worthiness of mitigation, determine the appropriate level of disaster assistance, improve recovery decisions, and inform insurers of their potential liability as mentioned in this paper.

A synthesis of carbon in international trade
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize current understanding in two parts: (1) CO2 emissions embodied in goods and services that are produced in one country but consumed in others, and (2) carbon physically present in fossil fuels, petroleum-derived products, harvested wood products, crops, and livestock products.

The Effect of Relative Coefficient Size on Input—Output Multipliers
R C Jensen,Guy R. West +1 more
TL;DR: This paper provided a measure of the effect of relative coefficient size on input-output multipliers and derived a multiplier accuracy-maximising approach to table preparation, showing the dominant role of the larger coefficients in multiplier formation.

Comments on Recent Developments in Regional Input-Output Analysis
TL;DR: One of the more difficult problems involved in constructing survey-based regional input-output tables; that is, the reconciliation of interindustry purchase and sales estimates is focused on.
