export.coef {ioanalysis}

Calculates the Matrix of Trade Coefficients

Description

Uses the matrix of technical input coefficients (A) to calculate either the matrix of import coefficients or the matrix of export coefficients. It does require that all regions have the same sectors. This can be verified using check.RS

This function is intended to be a helper function for vs

Usage

export.coef(io, region)

Arguments

io

An InputOutput class object from as.inputoutput

region

Integer. Specific region to be used. The number of the region in the order it appears in RS_label. You can only do one region at a time.

Details

Adds appropriate blocks of the matrix of technical input coefficients to calculate the matrix of import/export coefficients. If there is an export matrix or an import matrix as a part of the InputOutput object, the results in the generated matrix may be biased.

Value

Produces a nxn matrix, where n is the number of sectors.
