The Interregional Input–Output System for Colombia

Abstract

The first objective of this chapter is to present a detailed description of the procedures used to construct the interregional input–output system for Colombia with 2015 data. This tool facilitates analyzing the interrelationships among departments of the country concerning trade flows. The chapter details the methodological procedures adopted to generate the interregional system and the database used by other researchers and practitioners. Different applications are discussed in Part III of this volume, identifying structural features of Colombia’s regional economies. In this chapter, the authors also present illustrative analyses using different indicators from the estimated database, revealing some of the main structural features of the economy of Colombia.

Appendix 3: Sectoral GRP Data

DANE publishes sectoral GRP information for 12 activity sectors in the 33 regions of Colombia for 2015. To obtain a more disaggregated sectoral structure, we disaggregated the sectoral structure using regional shares from other databases. This disaggregation procedure considered the consistency with the sectoral information available at the SUT at the national level. Table 5.3 shows the sectoral structure after the disaggregation of the sectors. This table also exhibits the variables used to calculate regional shares.

Table 5.3 Data sources used to calculate regional shares of sectoral output

After calculating the regional shares for each SUT sector, the respective sectoral value-added estimates at the national level (from the national IO table) were distributed across the 33 Colombian regions. Next, the consistency of the regionalized data with GRP estimates was ensured using the bi-proportional adjustment method, RAS.

DANE publishes information about international trade statistics for 97 products and 33 departments. After calculating the regional shares for each IIOM-COL sector, the respective sectoral exports estimate at the national level (from the national IO table) were distributed across the 33 Colombian regions (Table 5.4).
