Webinars

The IIOA introduced a series of webinars as one of the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 annual IIOA Conferences. The aims of these webinars include:

• sharing information, research, developments and analyses;
• promotion of innovative ideas and inspiring others;
• providing another IIOA channel for learning and development for younger scholars; and
• least of all, seeing / hearing albeit online, existing friends and colleagues as well as newbies.

Topics can be of any nature relating to Input-Output and the presenters from within the IIOA community or beyond.

Background

The ground work laid out by Douglas Meade, Bart Los and Sanjiv Mahajan led to the introduction of the Webinar Programme Series in 2021 with Maureen Rimmer being the first presenter. As of 2022, Kuishuang Feng, a Member of the IIOA Council, is the new lead for the Webinar Programme Series, supported and advised by Sanjiv Mahajan.

Notification of webinar(s)

TOPIC

Title: From Industry Price Shocks to Household Living Standards: A Distributionally Extended Input–Output Framework

Abstract: Responding to the G20 Data Gaps Initiative's call for integrated micro–macro distributional statistics, this talk presents a compilation guide to distributionally extended input–output (DE-IO) tables that bring both the income and the expenditure side of the household sector into the interindustry system. Building on the Miyazawa interrelational multiplier tradition, on distributional national accounts and on current work in micro–macro linkage, the compilation links Eurostat's FIGARO tables, the Survey on Income and Living Conditions, and the Household Budget Survey through a reproducible workflow of statistical matching and reconciliation with national accounts benchmarks. Applied to the full 2010–2024 series of Spanish DE-IO tables, the framework quantifies the net effect of industry price shocks through the full circular flow of income, from functional income generation to household purchasing power, and identifies three transmission channels, two of which carry opposite inequality outcomes. The complete 2010–2024 series of Spanish DE-IO tables is released openly with the paper, and may be of interest to members who would like to use the data themselves.
