Pakistan Social Accounting Matrix 2020-21 with Hydrological Component

A Pakistan Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for 2020-21 provides an economy-wide dataset linking production, factor incomes, institutions, and external accounts. Developed by IFPRI and IWMI, it extends the standard SAM framework to capture interlinkages between water, agriculture, and the broader economy. The dataset updates the national SAM from 2013–14 with revised estimates across production, factor, and institutional accounts.

Use Cases

• Modeling water-food-economy interactions based on the integrated hydrological component.
• Analyzing inter-institutional economic flows based on accounts for households, enterprises, and government.
• Conducting macroeconomic closure analysis based on accounts for taxes, savings-investment, and the rest of the world.
• Studying factor income distribution based on disaggregated labor, land, and capital accounts.

Strengths

• Developed by authoritative institutions IFPRI and IWMI.
• Updates the national SAM from 2013–14 to 2020-21.
• Integrates a hydrological component using data from sources like the tube-well census and surface water flow data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is presented as a WEB APP, which may require specific tools for access and analysis.
