2013 Social Accounting Matrix for Ghana

This data study includes social accounting matrix (SAM) for Ghana for the year 2013. The SAM is an extension of the Standard Nexus Structure. It consists of 55 activity sectors, 56 commodity sectors, three types of factors of production: labor (rural and urban disaggregated by level of education), land, and capital (disaggregated by crops, livestock, mining and other sectors). The household sector is divided spatially into urban and rural households. Rural households are further disaggregated into households that earn crop and/or livestock incomes (i.e., farm households) and those that do no earn incomes from either source (i.e., nonfarm households). Households are further disaggregated into per capita expenditure quintiles. This SAM allows analyzing issues at the detailed level and to better understand the potential impacts of policy changes for both better off and more vulnerable households.

本数据研究涵盖2013年加纳的社会核算矩阵（Social Accounting Matrix，SAM）。该矩阵为标准关联结构（Standard Nexus Structure）的拓展形式，共包含55个活动部门、56个商品部门，以及三类生产要素：按教育水平细分的城乡劳动力、土地，以及按作物、畜牧、采矿及其他部门划分的资本。家庭部门按空间属性划分为城镇家庭与农村家庭；其中农村家庭进一步分为两类：兼具作物与畜牧收入的农户家庭，以及无上述两类收入来源的非农农户家庭；所有家庭还将按人均支出五分位组进行细分。该社会核算矩阵可支撑精细化议题分析，助力更深入地理解政策变动对富裕群体与弱势家庭的潜在影响。
