On the Construction and Use of Interindustry Transactions Tables in India

There is a close relation between the concepts used in inter-industry accounting and in national income accounting. Generally, in inter-industiy analysis, the main emphasis is on the two way part of the table which is usually given with detailed sectoral breakdowns. The main emphasis in national income accounting is with the values added in the various sectors, their intermediate distribution by factor shares, etc. and their final uses in consumption and capital fonnation. All these occur in the case of inter-industry analysis in the margins of the two way table.
