Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables
Covering the period 1998-2022, these tables provide a complete picture of the flows of products in the Scottish onshore economy for a given year.<br/>They detail the relationship between producers and consumers and the interdependencies of industries.

Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables
Description
The Input-Output framework of the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010) consists of three types of tables:
* Supply Tables,
* Use Tables and
* Symmetric Input-Output Tables
The Tables provide a complete picture of the flows of goods and services (products) in the Scottish onshore* economy for a given year. They detail the relationship between producers and consumers and the interdependencies of industries.
Supply and Use Tables are constructed directly from survey and other data sources. The Supply Table provides estimates of the output of a large number of differentiated products by each industry and the Use Table provides estimates of the inputs (of products) used by each industry to produce their own output.
The Supply and Use Tables are the basic building blocks; all other Input-Output analyses are derived from them.
Symmetric Tables (a.k.a. the Analytical Tables) represent the modelling aspect of the Input-Output framework. The Scottish Government produces annual Industry by Industry, Product by Product and Leontief Inverse Analytical Tables.
The datasets in this zipped archive are provided for machine readable applications. They include the:
* Domestic Output at Basic Prices and Supply of Products at Purchasers’ Prices Table
* Combined Use Table in Purchasers' Prices
* Domestic Industry by Industry Table in Basic Prices
* Domestic Product by Product Table in Basic Prices
* Leontief Type 1 and Type 2 matrices
* Output, Income, Employment and GVA Multipliers and Effects
* GVA at current basic prices and GVA weights by industry tables
* Imports and Exports detail tables
All cash values in these datasets are in current price £m.

Consistency
Due to the large structural changes and behaviours, unless the intention is to specifically model the economic impacts within the 2020 or 2021 pandemic years, it is strongly recommended that the 2022 model of the economy and associated multipliers are used for post pandemic impact modelling.

Accuracy
Please note that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led to challenges in the collecting and processing of the many data sources that underlie the Supply and Use Tables, as well as leading to large impacts on structures and behaviours within the economy. As a result, estimates for 2020 and 2021 are subject to more uncertainty than usual.
The 2022 tables can be considered as post pandemic, and are therefore suitable for use as a proxy for post pandemic modelling.
