35-KLEM Instruction Sheet

This file describes the sectoral input-output database developed by Dale W.
Jorgenson and described in Jorgenson and Stiroh (2000), Jorgenson (1990), and
Jorgenson, Gollop and Fraumeini (1987). The data cover 35 sectors at roughly
the 2-digit SIC level from 1959 to 1996.
For each sector, the accompanying data file, 35KLEM96.DAT, contains
information on the value and the price of four inputs (capital, labor, energy
and material) and the value and price of output. Variables are defined as:
vk = value of capital services pk = price of capital services
vl = value of labor inputs pl = price of labor inputs
ve = value of energy inputs pe = price of energy inputs
vm = value of material inputs pm = price of material inputs
For output, there are two prices - one that consumers pay
and one that producers receive - with the difference being the tax wedge. The
two output prices are defined as:
po = price of output that producers receive
pi = price of output that consumers pay
so that the quantity of output, q, equals:
q = (vk + vl + ve + vm)/po = (vk + vl + ve + vm + vt)/pi
where vt = the value of taxes paid by each sector.
The file 35KLEM96.DAT is an ASCII file that is organized as follows:
year ind q po pi
year ind vk pk vl pl
year ind ve pe vm pm
for the each of the sectors (IND =1 through 35) for 1959 to 1996.
Values are in millions of current dollars and prices are normalized to 1.0 in
1992.
These numbers are based on a combination of industry data from the BEA and
BLS, and therefore value-added numbers will not match the official NIPA
value-added numbers by sector. In addition, the methodology used to estimate
real capital and labor input series was changed to better match the BEA data,
so that these series do not precisely match those originally reported in
Jorgenson and Stiroh (2000).
The 35 sectors are as follows:
1 Agriculture
2 Metal mining
3 Coal mining
4 Oil and gas extraction
5 Non-metallic mining
6 Construction
7 Food and kindred products
8 Tobacco
9 Textile mill products

17 Rubber and misc plastics
18 Leather
19 Stone, clay, glass
20 Primary metal
21 Fabricated metal
22 Machinery, non-electical
