2018 Social Accounting Matrix for Bangladesh

The Nexus Project is a collaboration between IFPRI and its partners, including national statistical agencies and research institutions. Our aim is to improve the quality of social accounting matrices (SAMs) used for computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling. The Nexus Project develops toolkits and establishes common data standards, procedures, and classification systems for constructing and updating national SAMs. The 2018 Bangladesh SAM follows the Standard Nexus Structure. The open access version of the Bangladesh SAM separates domestic production into 42 activities. Factors are disaggregated into labor, agricultural land, and capital. Labor is further disaggregated across three education categories. Representative households are disaggregated by rural and urban areas and by per capita expenditure quintile. The remaining accounts include enterprises, government, taxes, savings-and-investment, and the rest of the word.

Nexus项目是国际粮食政策研究所（International Food Policy Research Institute, IFPRI）与其合作伙伴（包括各国国家统计机构与科研院所）共同开展的合作项目。本项目旨在提升用于可计算一般均衡（Computable General Equilibrium, CGE）建模的社会核算矩阵（Social Accounting Matrices, SAMs）的质量。Nexus项目开发了配套工具包，并为国家级SAMs的构建与更新制定了统一的数据标准、操作流程与分类体系。2018年孟加拉国社会核算矩阵（SAM）采用标准Nexus项目框架。该开源版本的孟加拉国SAM将国内生产划分为42个产业活动类别。生产要素被划分为劳动力、农业用地与资本三大类；其中劳动力还可进一步按受教育程度划分为三个类别。代表性家庭则按城乡地域与人均支出五分位组进行划分。其余账户涵盖企业、政府、税收、储蓄-投资以及世界其他地区。
