What are input-output tables?

Input-output tables are a powerful analytical tool for describing the structure of New Zealand’s economy. They show the relationships between industries, the goods and services they produce, and who uses them. Input-output tables have many uses, including:

• examining the impact of changes in producer prices or wages on the consumers price index
• exploring the reliance of industries on imports and estimating their contribution to exports.
