What are the basic books in social accounting matrix(SAM) analysis? What are the good books in SAM analysis ? Is there any book which explains step by step of doing SAM analysis? How can it be applied to public economics, in intergovernmental transfers or other topics?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much
Best wishes
Hi Sajad, So I have not seen much direct SAM analysis, rather SAMs are used to collect, store, and organize industry data for countries in a way that is internationally standardized. They are, however, used to calibrate Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models, and they are used to create Input-Output matrices for I-O analysis. For more information on how to use a SAM to create a CGE model I suggest:
"Introduction to Computable General Equilibrium Models" by Mary Burfisher
" Textbook of Computable General Equilibrium Modeling" by Hosoe, Gasawa, and Hoshimoto
The two above rely on GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System) a programming language that can be rather expensive. However, the basic idea is very much the same.
"Applying General Equilibrium" by Shoven and Whalley
This one above is a bit older and more technical, but Shoven and Whalley worked with Herb Scarf to create the first application of CGE analysis to public finance, so it is a good one to know.
Here are some links to modern CGE models that use SAMs to calibrate.
Monash Uni. - https://www.copsmodels.com/monmod.htm
Purdue Uni. - https://www.gtap.agecon.purdue.edu
I do not work as much with I-O analysis so I will link to an earlier question that has some good suggestions there https://www.researchgate.net/post/what_are_the_basic_books_in_input_output_analysis
Hope this helps!
Dear Kenneth Castellanos
I appreciate your help. Your answer is clearly and completely.
I have begun with Burfisher's book and I think, it's a good book for beginners.
Best wishes,
Sajad
