An Algorithm for the Consistent Inclusion of Partial Information in the Revision of Input-Output Tables

Donald Gilchrist and Larry St. Louis

Economic Systems Research, 2004, vol. 16, issue 2, 149-156

Abstract: TRAS is a natural extension of RAS that utilizes information in addition to row and column totals to produce updated matrices that are consistent with known cells and aggregates of known cells. This paper provides a simple restatement of the TRAS algorithm developed in Gilchrist & St. Louis (1999) and then tests its effectiveness by applying TRAS to the matrices obtained after RAS adjustments have been completed. The incremental gains from the TRAS adjustments were statistically significant.
