Full‐scale, near real‐time multi‐regional input–output table for the global emerging economies (EMERGING)

Multi-regional input–output (MRIO) models are widely used to analyze the economic interdependencies between regions in context of global trade and environmental research. MRIO tables enable us teleconnect sectors different along supply chain track both direct indirect impacts production. Yet emerging economies—despite reshaping international patterns playing an increasingly important role world economy—are not adequately represented existing databases, which lack key detail on countries sectors. To bridge this gap, our study presents EMERGING: Up-to-date full-scale covering 135 245 economies over period from 2015 2019. We describe steps development database reconciliation validation bilateral data national statistics. The EMERGING is also designed incorporate more official publicly available statistical institutes ensure a high level quality, especially for these economies. compare production-based consumption-based value added generated with results four major databases. Although value-added accounts similar across we find significant discrepancies at individual concerning conflicting benchmark data.
