Partitioned Matrix

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

A Partitioned Matrix (or Block Matrix) is the general mathematical structure used prominently in the context of Multiregional Input-Output Model. It divides n industries in the Input-Output Model into subgroups.

Usage

A partioned matrix may group specific sectors within an economy or represent a sector-country decomposition in a Multiregional Input-Output Model. An MRIO model extends the standard IO matrix to a larger system where each industry in each country has a separate row and column.[1]

If a matrix is partitioned into four blocks, it can be inverted blockwise (Using the concet of the Schur Complement).
