GTAP Data Bases: Format Specifications

There are two formats in which GTAP tables may be submitted, 1) the new unified version, and 2) the original version. We also provided tables showing how the two formats are linked (see below), and a utility to move from the old to the new format (visit the Utilities page).

A table is also available which shows the relationship between the original format and the GTAP Data Base.

1) New Unified Version - Arrays for single-region I-O (An alternative view of the format is also provided)
UF 2g+3, g+5 Usage of input i in use u, commodity tax excluded
UP 2g+3, g+5   Usage of input i in use u, commodity tax inclusive
OP g Output of sector i, non-commodity indirect tax included
MF g Imports of commodity i, import duties excluded
SSET g Sector names
SMAP gg Map from standard GTAP sectors
g   Number of sectors in your table
gg   Number of sectors in GTAP standard sectoral classification
