Forward And Backward Linkages (Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables 2019)

Description

Forward and backward linkage coefficients from Singapore’s Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables 2019. Forward linkages measure dependence on downstream purchases; backward linkages measure dependence on upstream production. Industry analysts rank sectors by supply- and demand-side connectedness in the Singapore economy. Adapted from SingStat TableBuilder CT/17841.
