Forward And Backward Linkages (Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables 2015)
What this data shows
Published by Singapore Department of Statistics. 105 records. Fields include Coefficient, (Linkage) Forward, (Linkage) Backward (3 columns in total). Last updated 2026-03-25.
Description
Forward and backward linkage coefficients for 105 industries, derived from Singapore's Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables 2015. Forward linkages are supply-oriented and measure how much an industry depends on purchases by downstream industries, while backward linkages are demand-oriented and measure dependence on production by upstream industries. Economists use these coefficients to identify key sectors, trace inter-industry dependencies, and model how demand shocks propagate through the Singapore economy. Adapted from SingStat TableBuilder CT/16374.
