1 April 24, 2012 Comparing China Input-Output Tables from Two Different Time Series: Major Differences and Potential Bias Leona Li, Xiaoqin Li

2 What are the two different IO table series? One is the SUTs and IOTs from World Input-Output Database (WIOD), which adopted a SUT-RAS method to jointly estimate SUTs based on all publicly available statistics; the other is Use Table series and estimated IOTs from China KLEMS project, led by Professor Ren Ruoen, in corporation with Professor Dale Jorgenson and China s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). China KLEMS project established close collaboration with China NBS, thus the compilation of their Use table time series involves a thorough inspection of all the historical Input-Output survey results, underlying materials and even the confidential policy files from the early-year planned economy system, which is also the initial reason why China compiled its first IOT under MPS framework. 2

3 What is the major difference in the compilation methodology? WIOD s compilation is mainly based on China s public benchmark tables and aggregate control totals from national accounts, assuming: 1. China s public benchmark tables are consistent; 2. China s IO account is consistent with GDP accounts; while the above assumptions are somehow problematic, because 1. China s statistical system is still improving over time, 2. 5-year intervals is a relatively long enough time to introduce some real structure change; 3. The Value-added from IO accounts are always slightly bigger than GDP accounts, because of the import tariffs and adjustments for consumption of financial services, etc. China KLEMS has included some internal information to make the necessary adjustments according to the above inconsistency issues. 3

4 What are the major additional information provided by NBS? For the industrial enterprises survey, there s scale-based system in China. For the enterprises with more than 5 million RMB s annual revenue, they supposed to follow a much detailed and systematic survey system. While for the enterprises under this designed scale, the cost and expense accounting is usually less detailed. Specific supply structure for SMEs in provided. China s IOTs total output by products is at producer price. The value-added tax expenditure by products is provided For import data in IOT, value creation for the import goods by the transportation enterprises, import tariff, consumption tax for imported goods, and adjustments for processing trade are all provided; For export data in IOT, the FOB price excluding turnover cost, and adjustments for processing trade are all provided; Most of underlying survey material comes from the use sectors, which accounting price is purchaser price. Turnover cost matrix (including business additional expenditure and transportation) is provided, which could be subtracted from the purchaser price table and construct the tables at producer price. 4

5 One example for adjustment details Table 2.1 The adjustments for processing trade in 2007 benchmark table Unit: billion RMB (1) (2) (3) (4) = (1) - (2)+(3) (5) (6) (7) = (5) - (6) 1 Agriculture Mining , , Construction Food and related Textiles, Leather, Apparel 1, , Wood and related Paper, printing and publishing Petroleum Chemicals & Rubber Other mineral Metals Machinery Electrical & Electronics 3, , , , Transport equipment Misc. manufacturing Utility Trade Transportation services Communications Finance, insurance and real estate Other private services Public services Total 10, , , , Notes: (1): All exports Exports of processing with (2): foreign supplied material Charges for processing with (3): foreign supplied material (4): Exports for IOT (5): All imports Imports for processing with (6): foreign supplied material (7): Imports for IOT 5

21 Is there discrepancy in IPD/ISD analysis? Rank correlation of IPD and ISD between the two series are both at 0.94 with less than 1% significance; Country Industry* IPD IPD ISD ISD NBS-JICA WIOT NBS-JICA WIOT Japan Mining Japan Textiles, Leather, Apparel Japan Petroleum Japan Misc. manufacturing Japan Utility Japan Trade Japan Communications Japan Public services China Mining China Wood and related China Petroleum China Metals China Machinery China Misc. manufacturing China Utility China Trade China Other private services * selected industries with high discrepancies 21

22 Is there discrepancy in inducement analysis? (1) Japan s domestic production is mainly driven by final household consumption (43%) and gross capital formation (23%); while that of China is driven by gross capital formation (34%) and export to RoW (29%); Domestic inducement structure very similar between two tables; Large variation observed at China s inducement of Japanese household and government consumption, and Japan s inducement of Chinese government consumption. (mil. RMB) Domestic Production Inducement Coefficient Japan China Japan China Country Final Demand Items NBS-JICA WIOT NBS-JICA WIOT NBS-JICA WIOT NBS-JICA WIOT Japan Household consumption 26,905,299 28,506,064 1,291, , Japan Government consumption 8,368,342 9,182,963 81, , Japan Gross capital formation 14,336,791 14,443, , , Japan Export to ROW 10,482,602 10,449, , , China Household consumption 327, ,739 20,835,671 19,840, China Government consumption 86, ,082 7,695,792 7,359, China Gross capital formation 913, ,632 28,120,993 27,994, China Export to ROW 698, ,426 23,582,552 24,277,

23 Is there discrepancy in inducement analysis? (2) For both countries, around 97% of gross value-added is induced by domestic final demand; Pattern of discrepancy is identical to that of production inducement. (mil.

24 Is there discrepancy in decomposition of energy consumption? Following Miller and Blair (2009) and Zhang and Lahr (2011), we decompose change in gross energy consumption between 1995 and 2005 into 1) change in energy efficiency, defined as energy input per unit of gross output; 2) change in production structure, described by Leontief inverse matrix; 3) change in final demand structure; 4) change in final demand level. Caveat on interpretation: China KLEMS uses double deflation to construct constant price IOT series 24

25 Is there discrepancy in decomposition of energy consumption? Energy efficiency; Final demand structure; China KLEMS WIOD Changes in energy consumption and its determinants China KLEMS IOT, Changes in energy consumption and its determinants WIOT, % 80% 60% 60% 40% 40% 20% 0% -20% -40% -60% total Production structure FD level energy efficiency FD structure 20% 0% -20% -40% -60% total Production structure FD level energy efficiency FD structure 25

26 Is there discrepancy in decomposition of CO2 emission? China KLEMS WIOD Changes in CO2 emission and its determinants China KLEMS IOT, Changes in CO2 emission and its determinants WIOT, % 80% 60% 60% 40% 40% 20% 20% 0% -20% % -20% % -40% -60% total Production structure FD level energy efficiency FD structure -60% total Production structure FD level energy efficiency FD structure 26

27 Is there discrepancy in labor IPD/ISD analysis? Relative position and ranking of IPD and ISD resembles each other closely; Larger variation in ISD than in IPD; China KLEMS WIOT China KLEMS WIOT Industry* Mining Textiles, Leather, Apparel Wood and related Misc. manufacturing Utility Transportation services Communications Finance, insurance and real estate Other private services * selected industries with high discrepancies IPD ISD 27

28 Is there discrepancy in aggregate labor inducement analysis? Increase in household consumption in Agriculture has a predominant yet declining effect on aggregate labor employment, followed by Other private services and Trade; Portrait by two IOT series similar: except for household consumption in 2001, GCF in 1995, and export in 1997, all rank correlations are significant at less than 1%. Spearman's Rho HH con. GCF Export * * * * NOT significant at 10% 28

29 Is there discrepancy in labor compensation inducement analysis? Spearman's High-skilled Medium-skilled Low-skilled Rho HH con. GFC Export HH con. GFC Export HH con. GFC Export * * 0.40* -0.09* * * 0.50* * * * 0.16* * 0.06* * * * * 0.40* * * 0.17* 0.44* 0.21* * * 0.15* 0.17* * * 0.40* -0.48* 0.22* * -0.46* * NOT significant at 10% 29

30 Conclusion Overall comparable and generate similar patterns in inducement analysis; From sectoral perspective, service industries and heavily state-owned sectors are more problematic; Sectoral level discrepancy High (6) Medium (5) Low (11) Mining Construction Agriculture Wood and related Other mineral Food and related Other private services* Machinery Textiles, Leather, Apparel Misc. manufacturing* Utility* Paper, printing and publishing* Trade Transportation services* Petroleum Communications Chemicals & Rubber Metals Electrical & Electronics* Transport equipment Finance, insurance and real estate Public service * with concordance issue betn. WIOT and China KLEMS From year perspective, and seem to be with higher variation; Implication is research-question-driven: e.g. energy and utility analysis. 30
