Introduction

Construct consistent social accounts for
United States





Cover 1978 to 2001
Aggregate to two-digit SIC level
Draw on variety of data sources
Calibrate data for internal consistency
Preserve integrity of trade, GDP data
Data Sources for TSCAPE:
U.S. Department of Commerce

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)




Value added by factor and sector (approx. 2-digit)
Benchmark IO tables (1982, 1987, 1992, 1997)
National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA)
Trade Policy Information System (TPIS)


Trade by TSUS, Schedule B (1978-1988)
Trade by HTS 10-digit (1989-2001)
Scope of TSCAPE

Defined by quantity index for GDP by industry
(GDPI)



Available at 2-digit level
From 1977 to present
Defined by TPIS


Highly disaggregated
Available from 1978 to present
Discontinuity in Trade Data

1978 to 1988: TSUS, Sch. B to SIC 4 digit




1989 to 2001: HTS10 to SIC 4 digit



Based on DOC concordance
Only half of lines originally mapped to SIC
DOC concordance substantially revised and
extended by authors
DOC concordance used unchanged
No handshake between TSUS and HTS10
Discontinuity between 1988 and 1989

Construction of Social Accounts


Calculate real GDPi  qVAi  GDPi1996
Complete VA matrix with GDPI data on factor
payment shares by industry


Calculate real intermediate purchases by sector


If qUse available, TgtUseg ,i  qUsei Useg1996
,i
If not, use interpolated BEA IO data
Build Make matrix



Aggregate GDP is then consistent with NIPA
Convert to coefficients, interpolate
Multiply by real gross output from GDPI
Calculate final demand components
Establish Consistency

Value added matrix: no changes
Merchandise trade: no changes

Minimize loss function subject to

Zero profit condition
No excess demand
