Input-Output Expert User Group
Overview
Remit
The purpose of the group is to bring together producers and users of the Scottish Input-Output tables to share expertise and experiences. The group will consider the practical uses of Input-Output both within government and externally, gaining a better understanding of the range of uses made of the Scottish Input-Output tables; identify the key areas of work done by external experts, highlighting strengths and weaknesses that have been brought to light through this more detailed usage; seek to improve the quality of the tables by looking at methodological improvements and new data sources; and, explore ways to improve the service that the Scottish Government Input-Output team provide to external/internal users.
The main elements of this are:
- to develop an understanding of the range of uses of Input-Output analysis in Scotland
- to develop an understanding of the service that Input-Output branch can provide to both internal and external users to enhance the use of the analysis
- to discuss technical aspects of existing methodologies, developmental work and new analysis
- to discuss and to seek advice relating to the development of the more flexible new Input-Output system to provide tailor-made analysis
In these respects the group will:
- consider existing work, both internally and externally, that is being undertaken using the Scottish Input-Output tables
- identifying any issue/problems highlighted with this more detailed use of the data
- provide advice on potential solutions to these identified issues, and on any additional resource implications
- set up temporary working groups, as necessary, to consider particular data/developmental issues when necessary
- contribute to two way discussion on future developments and requirements of the Scottish Input-Output tables
