Abstract: Compiling Social Accounting Matrices (SAM) allows to analyse the circular flow of income in a deeper detail compared to the traditional T-accounts. SAMs classify economic flows introducing social and demographic criteria with a special attention devoted to the households sector. Such a presentation of national accounts is particularly useful for analysis on the allocation, distribution and use of disposable income. This paper describes the method used by Istat to estimate a labour-oriented SAM, where labour income is simultaneously analysed by economic activity and by gender and education of the labourer. Moreover consumption expenditure is analysed by groups of household sharing the same main source of income (wages and salaries, mixed income, retirement income, property income). Besides methodological aspects the paper highlights the analytical potentialities of the SAM.

Keywords: Social Accounting Matrix (SAM); statistical matching; employment and labor income by gender and level of education; consumption by household type. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
