EU Member States' Social Accounting Matrices
A Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) is a comprehensive and economy-wide database that records data on all transactions taking place in an economy over a specific period, typically one year.
SAMs serve two primary objectives:
Firstly, they show the economic structure and interrelationships among all economic agents in the region under analyses.
Secondly, they provide a database for analysing the economy’s performance and simulating the effects of policy interventions through multisectoral linear models and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models.
Besides EU Member States, a SAM of the EU as a whole is provided. Please note that for the concerned years, the United Kingdom is included as a former Member State.
