Benchmark Input-Output Accounts of the United States, 1982

摘要

The report presents the 1982 benchmark input-output (I-O) accounts for the U.S.economy. These accounts show the production of commodities (goods and services) by each industry, the use of commodities by each industry, the commodity composition of GNP, and the industry distribution of value added. BEA prepares these accounts primarily on the basis of data collected every 5 years in the economic censuses for agriculture, mining, construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, and selected services; data for other services are from other government reports and surveys and from private sources. The description is in three sections. The first section describes the I-O accounts and the tables that present related detail. The second section discusses some uses of these estimates, highlighting analytical uses and providing recent examples. The third section is a summary of the sources and methods used to prepare these accounts.
