Interactive Access To Input-Output Accounts Data

Skip to I-O Tables.

Background

The input-output (I-O) accounts show how industries interact; specifically, they show how industries provide input to, and use output from, each other to produce Gross Domestic Product (GDP). These accounts provide detailed information on the flows of the goods and services that make up the production processes of industries.

The I-O accounts are presented in a set of tables: Use, Make, Direct Requirements and Total Requirements.

• The Use table shows the inputs to industry production and the Commodity Composition of final demand (GDP).
• The Make table shows the commodities that are produced by each industry.
• The Direct Requirements table shows the amount of a commodity that is required by an industry to produce a dollar of the industry's output.
• The three Total Requirements tables show the production that is required, directly and indirectly, from each industry and each commodity to deliver a dollar of industry or commodity to final users.

The Use table is the most frequently requested table because of its applications to the estimates of GDP. The four Requirements tables are derived from the Use and Make tables.

Interactive Access Area

The interactive access area allows users to select data from the U.S. I-O account tables. For information on selecting data, see the Input-Output Accounts Tables Help section. The interactive access area can be bypassed by users who want to directly download published I-O data in the Data Download section. Data downloading is recommended for users who want to retrieve the complete tables at the most detailed industry level. Published articles on the I-O accounts can be found in the Industry Accounts Articles Section.

If you have questions or comments about the Industry Accounts, or if you want to be notified about new data releases or published articles, please send an e-mail to Annual Input-Output Accounts or Benchmark Input-Output Accounts.

For information on selecting data, see Input-Output Accounts Tables Help section.
