THE JAPANESE ECONOMY AND THE 2000 INPUT-OUTPUT TABLES

The economic status quo of a particular economy for a particular period of time (normally on the basis of a year's duration) may be deduced from the Input-Output Tables (I-O Tables) by analyzing the inter-industrial good and service transactions as recorded under the matrix column.

The values of domestic production as well as the input components (for goods and services) of the individual sector may be deduced from the figures appearing in the column section of the I-O Tables, while the value of sales for domestic production as well as imports of the respective goods and services demanded may be deduced from the row sector of the tables.

To begin with, as may be deduced from the said tables, the total supply of goods and services in 2000 was 1,013.48 trillion yen, out of which domestic production amounted to 958.89 trillion yen (94.7% of the total supply value), while imports were valued at 54.16 trillion yen (5.3% of the total supply value). Compared to 1995, the values of total supply and domestic production have increased by 3.3% and 2.3% respectively, while the value of imports has jumped by 23.9%.

Overall, the value of domestic production has increased slightly. Although output in IT related industries, sectors such as Business Services including Information Services, Communication and Broadcasting and Electrical Machinery have grown dramatically, the output in several sectors has declined (e.g. in the Construction sector, due to low demand for public and residential construction; in Textile Products, due to imports of low-price products made in developing countries, and in Material Products such as Iron and Steel). On the other hand, imports have increased significantly due to the expansion in imported goods produced outside Japan, owing to transfer of production sites offshore. Consequently, compared to 1995 the ratio of the value of imports to the value of total supply has increased by 0.8 points, i.e. from 4.5% in 1995 to 5.3% in 2000.

As far as the value of the input structure of domestic production is concerned, intermediate inputs of goods such as raw materials and fuels and related services accounted for 439.40 trillion yen, equivalent to 45.8% of domestic production. Ratios of intermediate input were 53.5% for goods and 46.5% for services. Comparing this to the ratios in 1995 (55.1% and 44.9% respectively), we find that the service economy has developed considerably.

Gross value added meanwhile amounted to 519.48 trillion yen, i.e. 54.2% of domestic production. This is broken down into compensation of employees (53.1%), operating surplus (18.6%), and depreciation of fixed capital (18.0%). Compared to 1995, the ratios for compensation of employees and operating surplus have declined.

Looking from the demand side, the total demand for goods and services in 2000 was 1,013.48 trillion yen, out of which the value of intermediate demand in production amounted to 439.40 trillion yen (43.4% of the total demand value), and the value of final demand 516.16 trillion yen (51.0% of the total demand value), while the value of exports totaled 57.49 trillion yen (5.7% of the total demand value).

Compared to 1995, total demand, intermediate demand and final demand have increased by 3.3%, 1.7% and 2.8% respectively. The value of exports has increased by 22.8 % due to the expansion of demand overseas, for example in Asia and the United States. Consequently, compared to 1995, the ratio of the value of exports to that of total demand has increased by 0.9 points, i.e. from 4.8% in 1995 to 5.7% in 2000.

2.Tables

The attached files are composed of transaction tables, input coefficients, inverse matrix coefficients and domestic production (induced by final demand item) based on producers' prices and purchasers' prices. These tables are compiled by 13 sector classifications and two consolidated sector classifications (Major consolidated sector [32 sectors]; Intermediate consolidated sector [104 sectors]). Tables on Trade Margin, Domestic Transportation Fees and Import are also included in the tables. The 1990-1995-2000 Linked Input-Output Tables will be released in March 2005.

Each file is composed of the following tables.

  • Transaction table valued at producers' prices
  • Transaction table valued at purchasers' prices
  • Input coefficient
  • Inverse matrix coefficient
  • Other coefficients
    • Domestic production induced by individual final demand items
    • Gross value added induced by individual final demand items
    • Imports induced by individual final demand items
