Better policy analysis with better data. Constructing a Social Accounting Matrix from the European System of National Accounts.

Although, mainly in the case of the SAM, the accounts do not follow any specific order and depend
on whoever is working with them, the order that is used here is the same as the one used by those
who conceived this methodology and are referred to in the “sources” of Tables 2 and 3.

Note: The first three accounts (f = factors of production, a = activities and p = products) are the
production accounts of the economy and the following three (dic = current; dik = capital; dif
= financial) are the accounts of the (domestic) institutions. The last one (rw = rest of the
world) represents the “outside” of the (domestic) economy.
