GTAP 7 Data Base Documentation - Chapter 7 I-O Table: Sri Lanka
Jeevika Weerahewa, Jayatilleke S. Bandara · 2009
The main purpose of this document is to briefly describe the process of incorporating the new Sri Lankan input-output (I-O) data base into GTAP version 7. The first Sri Lankan I-O data base was incorporated into the GTAP version 4 Data Base in the late 1990s (See Bandara, 1998). The base year of the I-O table was 1989. This table was not replaced by a new table in versions 5 and 6 GTAP Data Base. Therefore, there was an urgent need to update the Sri Lankan I-O table in GTAP. In order to meet this need, we decided to incorporate a new Sri Lankan I-O table into this new version.
