Symmetric industry-by-industry input-output tables from Statistics Canada detail inter-industry purchases, imports, and value-added components like wages. The tables are analytically derived from supply and use tables and are available at Detail, Link 1997, Link 1961, and Summary aggregation levels. The dataset was harvested by UBC Abacus and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze economic interdependencies based on inter-industry transaction data
- Model the impact of policy changes on specific sectors based on final demand purchases
- Calculate industry-level productivity metrics based on value-added components like wages
- Study import dependencies across industries based on expenditures on imports
Strengths
- Tables are available at multiple aggregation levels (Detail, Link 1997, Link 1961, Summary)
- Data is produced by a national statistical authority (Statistics Canada)
- Includes both industry transactions and final demand categories
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
