Input-Output Accounts
These data offer a comprehensive picture of the inner workings of the U.S. economy, showing production relationships among industries and commodities. Businesses can use input-output data to develop economic projections and forecasting models. Economists can use the data to examine the role of information technology on structural change, productivity, and the sources of economic growth. Researchers can use the data to analyze the economic effects of specific events.
Input-output data are updated each year and provide information on 71 industry categories. Detailed benchmark input-output statistics, produced roughly every five years, are further subdivided into 405 industries.
Benchmark input-output tables are fully integrated with the annual industry accounts and the national income and product accounts. Benchmark estimates at all levels of aggregation reflect the highly detailed and accurate data available during an economic census year.
