Ocean economic input-output tables of coastal provinces in China

The ocean economic input-output (IO) tables are essential databases for analyzing the ocean economy. However, the IO tables issued by Chinese government's statistical department adopt the conventional economic sector classifications, which fall short in capturing the heterogeneity of the ocean and land sectors. To fill this gap, we used the stripping coefficient method to construct the ocean economic IO tables of 11 coastal provinces in China, relying on the latest official provincial IO tables in 2017 and ocean economy data published by official institutions. The provincial ocean economic IO tables, which reflect the interconnectedness among 13 ocean sectors and 42 land sectors, could be widely used to support the ocean policy evaluation at the provincial level. To clarify the interlinkage between Chinese ocean economies and foreign economies, we further differentiated the Chinese ocean sectors from a global multi-regional input-output table that contains Chinese provinces. This dataset could be used to evaluate the development of ocean economy in China from a global perspective.

海洋经济投入产出（input-output，IO）表是开展海洋经济分析的核心数据库。然而，中国政府统计部门发布的传统投入产出表采用常规经济部门分类体系，无法充分刻画海洋与陆地部门的异质性特征。为填补这一研究空白，本研究依托2017年最新官方省级投入产出表与官方机构发布的海洋经济统计数据，采用剥离系数法构建了中国11个沿海省份的海洋经济投入产出表。该省级海洋经济投入产出表涵盖13个海洋部门与42个陆地部门的相互关联，可广泛用于支撑省级层面的海洋政策评估工作。为明晰中国海洋经济与全球其他经济体的关联机制，本研究进一步从包含中国省份的全球多区域投入产出表中剥离出中国海洋部门。本数据集可用于从全球视角评估中国海洋经济的发展态势。
