# Input-output databases

An overview of global multi-regional input-output databases.

> *Generated with [TianGong Chat](https://chat.tiangong.world/) on 7 November 2023*

| Name | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Eora** | This database provides high-resolution input-output tables, including 186 individual economies and identifying 26 sectors for each economy (Lenzen et al., 2012; Lenzen, Moran, et al., 2012; Lenzen et al., 2013). |
| **EXIOBASE** | This database covers about 40 countries or regions and is applicable to regional emissions studies (Bjelle et al., 2020; Stadler et al.). |
| *Global Trade Analysis Project (**GTAP**)* | This database provides a database of harmonized input-output tables and trade data which can be used to construct MRIO tables (Andrew Peters, 2013; Meng et al., 2018; Peters, 2007). |
| World Input-Output Database (**WIOD**) | This database contains the input-output tables with the information of 40 countries and regions throughout the world and rest region as ROW (27 EU countries and 13 other major countries) (Dietzenbacher et al. 2013; Timmer et al. 2015). |
| Asian International Input-Output Tables (**AIIOTs**) | This database mainly focuses on the Asian Pacific economies (Meng et al., 2013). |
| Full International and Global Accounts for Research in Input–Output Analysis (**FIGARO**) | This database mainly focuses on the EU (Rémond-Tiedrez Rueda-Cantuche, 2018). |
| The Global Resource Input–Output Assessment Model (**GLORIA**) MRIO database | This database provides a global perspective on resource input-output (Lenzen et al., 2017, 2021). |
| OECD’s Inter-Country Input-Output Database (**ICIO**) | This database provides input-output data for 34 sectors, up to 70 regions (OECD 2015). |
| Global Trade Analysis Project MRIO table (**GTAP-MRIOT**) | This database provides input-output data for 57 sectors, 120 countries/regions (Peters et al. 2011b). |
| **EMERGING** | This database provides valuable input-output data for various sectors and regions, complementing the GTAP database. It contributes to understanding the interdependencies between different sectors and regions, providing a comprehensive view of the global economy (EMERGING, n.d.). |
