Objective of the Course

The course aims to equip participants with analytical skills in multiplier-based analysis of Input–Output (I-O) Tables and Supply and Use Tables (SUT), using aggregated macro-level matrices to examine economy-wide interlinkages among production sectors, institutions, agents, and the global economy. Participants are introduced to the theoretical foundations and structural blocks of I-O and SUT frameworks and their application in policy-oriented multiplier modelling. Designed for policy analysts and researchers in government, statistical agencies, central banks, academia, and international organizations, the course assumes some familiarity with national accounts while reintroducing core concepts to ensure accessibility for participants with limited prior exposure. The course is delivered in five modules as follows.

Mode of Delivery

The course is delivered through an intensive, hands-on approach in which participants systematically build the IO/SUT model over the duration of the training. The programme is highly sequential, requiring full attendance at all sessions, as each step builds directly on the previous one. Participants work in teams to enhance peer learning and methodological coherence, while each participant is required to have an individual laptop and mouse for practical implementation. By the end of the course, each team presents policy simulation results generated from their model.

For the online delivery option, participants are required to submit all assignments within the stipulated timelines to ensure completion within the scheduled period, as extensions may incur additional facilitation costs.
