Introduction
Construct consistent social accounts for United States Cover 1978 to 2001 Aggregate to two-digit SIC level
Draw on variety of data sources Calibrate data for internal consistency Preserve integrity of trade, GDP data
Data Sources for TSCAPE:U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
Value added by factor and sector (approx. 2-digit) Benchmark IO tables (1982, 1987, 1992, 1997) National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA)
Trade Policy Information System (TPIS) Trade by TSUS, Schedule B (1978-1988) Trade by HTS 10-digit (1989-2001)
Scope of TSCAPE
Defined by quantity index for GDP by industry (GDPI) Available at 2-digit level From 1977 to present
Defined by TPIS Highly disaggregated Available from 1978 to present
Discontinuity in Trade Data
1978 to 1988: TSUS, Sch. B to SIC 4 digit Based on DOC concordance Only half of lines originally mapped to SIC DOC concordance substantially revised and
extended by authors 1989 to 2001: HTS10 to SIC 4 digit
DOC concordance used unchanged No handshake between TSUS and HTS10 Discontinuity between 1988 and 1989

Construction of Social Accounts Calculate Complete VA matrix with GDPI data on factor
payment shares by industry Aggregate GDP is then consistent with NIPA
Calculate real intermediate purchases by sector If qUse available, If not, use interpolated BEA IO data
Build Make matrix Convert to coefficients, interpolate Multiply by real gross output from GDPI
Calculate final demand components

Resulting Baseline
Labor’s value share of GDP averages 58% Imports’ share of GDP grew from 7% to 16% Exports’ share of GDP grew from 6% to 12% Protection fell dramatically in some sectors
Electronic Equipment (down by 86%) Industrial Machinery (down by 88%)
