Definition

A Technical Coefficient Matrix is the collection of all input-output coefficients (also Technology Matrix, Direct Coefficients Matrix). It is the central element of an Input-Output Model (Also total inter-industry requirements). The input coefficients for all of the intermediate inputs and all value components add up to one (100%).

Formula

It is often denoted as the A matrix

Issues and Challenges

“Accounting coefficient” would be a better term than “technical coefficient”, since what we have are monetary amounts and not quantities. However, the term “technical coefficient” is generally used.[1]
