Equilibration Operators for the Solution of Constrained Matrix Problem

Extending the Input-Output Table Based on Firm-Level Data

“…Finally, our paper relates to previous attempts to cast the estimation of unknown values in IO tables as a constrained matrix balancing problem (van der Ploeg, 1988, Nagurney and Robinson, 1989, Bartholdy, 1991. It also contributes to the information theory literature that estimates interregional 10 These assumptions have been shown to lead to substantial biases in the estimation of countries' value added, factor content of trade, and our general inference of the impact of trade on countries' macro-economy (e.g., Puzzello, 2012).…”
