In okrebs/iotr: Obtain, Tidy and Modify Input-Output Tables For Quantitative Economics

iotr

Overview

Package for working with Input Output Tables in quantitative economics.

Download and convert I-O-data from different sources.

Currently supported databases:

• WIOD (see Timmer et al. 2015):
  • download tables
  • convert to standardized long format
• OECD’s ICIO (see OECD 2021):
  • download tables
  • convert to standardized long format

Planned support:

• Eora
• USITC ITPD-IO
• Eurostat

Additional functionality (possibly outsourced/removed in the future):

• remove ‘dynamic’ demand categories, e.g. inventory or GFCF, following the method proposed in Costino and Rodríguez-Clare (2014)

• remove entries with negative value added from and IO-table by scaling demand

• remove entries where exports but no “own trade” exists by replacing them with small entries
