Industry Technology Assumption

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Industry Technology Assumption. By this assumption, each industry’s production requires a unique set of inputs, no matter which product it is producing.

This assumption provides the basis for the mechanical calculation of the total requirements tables in the I-O accounts. See also Handbook of Input-Output Table Compilation and Analysis, Studies in Methods, Handbook of National Accounting, Series F, No. 74, (New York: United Nations, 1999): 88.[1]
