Dataset: a Social Accounting Matrix for Germany

The Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for Germany includes data on 163 production sectors, factors of production, indirect business taxes, households, corporations, government, gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories, and the external accounts with the rest of the world. The SAM allows for economic analysis, policy evaluation, and economic modelling. The SAM is compiled by extending the EXIOBASE Input-Output accounts with data from Federal Statistical Office of Germany (DESTATIS) and using balancing items to ensure that the Total Income and Total Expenditure of the main transactors are in balance.
