Abstract— The input-output balance model is a model that describes the relationship between industries in the economy of a country or region. It shows how the output of one sector of the economy depends on the output of other industries, and how it is used in them. The main subject of analysis in this model is a set of input-output tables representing the relationship between production and consumption of goods between different industries. Due to the high effort and time required to compile such tables on a country level, accurate and detailed input-output tables are published by official bodies every few years, and tables for intermediate years are calculated approximately by balancing methods based on incomplete but more easily accessible data. This paper describes comparison of these methods using aggregated data.
