forward_linkages: Forward linkages

Description

Forward linkages capture how the increased output of a sector provides additional inputs to other sectors, enabling them to expand production.

Usage

forward_linkages(output_coefficient_matrix, digits = NULL)

Value

A data.frame with two columns:

• The metadata column from the input matrix (sector/product names)

• forward_linkages: the forward linkage indicator values

Arguments

output_coefficient_matrix

An output coefficient matrix created with output_coefficient_matrix_create().

digits

Integer. Number of decimals for rounding. Defaults to NULL (no rounding).

Details

Defined as the row sums of the Ghosh inverse, in line with the Eurostat Manual of Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables (pp. 506–507) and the United Nations Handbook on Supply and Use Tables and Input-Output Tables with Extensions and Applications (p. 637).

de_out <- output_coefficient_matrix_create(
  data_table, "tfu",
  digits = 4
)

forward_linkages(
  output_coefficient_matrix = de_out,
  digits = 4
)
