Definition

Bridge Tables. Two tables, one for personal consumption expenditures and one for private equipment and software, that show the relationships between categories of expenditures in the I-O accounts and those in the NIPAs. The bridge tables enable analysts to use the commodity-composition relationships shown in the benchmark I-O tables to prepare estimates for nonbenchmark years.[1]
