forward_linkages {iotables}

Forward linkages

Description

The increased output of a sector indicates that additional amounts of products are available to be used as inputs by other sectors which can increase their production, which is captured in this indicator vector.

Usage

forward_linkages(output_coefficient_matrix, digits = NULL)

Arguments

output_coefficient_matrix

An output coefficient matrix created with the output_coefficient_matrix_create function.

digits

Number of decimals for rounding, defaults to NULL.

Details

Forward linkages as defined by the Eurostat Manual of Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables (pp. 506–507) and the United Nations Handbook on Supply and Use Tables and Input-Output Tables with Extensions and Applications p637.

Value

The vector of industry (product) forward linkages in a long-form data.frame, containing the metadata column of the the row names from the output_coefficient_matrix.

Examples

data_table = iotable_get()

de_out <- output_coefficient_matrix_create ( 
 data_table, "tfu", digits = 4
 )

forward_linkages(output_coefficient_matrix = de_out, 
                 digits = 4 )
