Construction of regional input—output tables for Russian regions
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2025-7-98-112
Abstract
The methodology is developed for constructing complete regional input—output tables for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation based on analytical regionalization methods. Unlike most existing approaches, which are limited to regionalizing only the first quadrant of input—output tables, the proposed method covers all three quadrants: intermediate consumption, final use, and value added. The construction of the tables relies on a combination of location quotients, data from the Transport-Economic Balance (TEB), and international trade statistics from the Federal Customs Service (FCS), along with the application of the RAS balancing method to eliminate discrepancies with official GRP statistics. Full intersectoral tables have been compiled for 85 regions and 8 federal districts for the year 2018. The developed approach ensures the consistency of product flows between intermediate and final use and incorporates both interregional and international trade. The results provide extensive opportunities for analyzing regional economies, spatial economic modeling, and constructing interregional input—output tables, while also laying the foundation for further empirical and theoretical research.
