INPUT-OUTPUT TABLES
PURPOSE
Input-Output tables show, in some detail, the components of gross domestic product for a given period. They also show the links between the various industries within the Australian economy.
A total of 106 industries are shown in the Input-Output tables, six of which relate to culture and leisure. Statistics on the value of Australian production, imports and exports for approximately 1,000 separate commodities are also available. Several of these commodities are related to culture and leisure.
The Australian National Accounts are a systematic way of showing the output of the Australian economy. Input-Output tables are produced from the Australian National Accounts. In turn, Input-Output multipliers are derived from the Input-Output tables.
The impact of an activity on the economy can be evaluated by using Input-Output multipliers. Input-Output multipliers can be used to provide answers about the likely impacts of an increase in demand for the output of an industry, the likely impact of new projects and the likely results of import replacement strategies, not only on the industry itself, but on all other industries in the economy.
DESCRIPTION
The ABS compiles the Australian National Accounts from a wide range of statistical sources, many of which are described within this directory. More information about compilation methods and data sources is provided in Australian National Accounts: Concepts, Sources and Methods (Cat. no. 5216.0).
