vs.ki: Vertical Specialization

In ignaciomsarmiento/ioanalysis: Input-Output Analysis

Description

VS is the imported input content of exports for country k in sector i. The Vertical specialization chain is VS_ki=(imported intermediates/gross output)*exports. The first term is the share of imported inputs into gross production. Multiplying this ratio by the amount that is exported provides the monetary value for the imported input content of exports.

Usage

vs.ki(imp,exp,out,namesector, write.xlsx=TRUE, name="Level_Verticalization.xlsx")

Arguments

imp	Vector. Imported intermediates of sector i
exp	Vector. Exports
out	Vector. Gross Output
namesector	String. Name of Sector i
write.xlsx	Logical. if TRUE results are presented in an excel file
name	String. name of the excel file

Details

The dimension of the four arguments must coincide.

Value
