4. Taiwan KLEMS Database From DGBAS, Taiwan
Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Taiwan
Time period:
: 13 sectors (only)

5.
Sixteen sectors
93SNA
We can convert to 16 sectors for if necessary

6. Sixteen sectors Five Industry sectors: Mining & quarrying (1),
Manufacturing (2),
Electricity & gas supply (3),
Water supply and remediation service (4)
Construction (5)

7. Eleven Services sectors
Wholesales & retail trade
Transportation & storage
Accommodation & food services
Information & communication
Finance & insurance
Real estate
Professional, scientific and technical service
Support services
Human health services
Art, entertainment & recreational services
Other services

8. Methodology for compilation
Y: national income production account
(NIPA) Real Gross Output(real GO) K L
E, M, S

9. Methodology for compilation
Gross output = intermediate input (II) value added (VA)
Data is from national account survey
Annual, qualterly
93SNA

10. Methodology for compilation
Capital stock- Benchmark extrapolation method
Benchmark year-those when each industrial and commercial census took place and national wealth census
16 industrial sectors
Base year: 2006, 1988

11. Capital stock
The real net fixed capital stock are based on the net value of fixed assets used in operation including
Building and other construction
Transportation equipments
Machinery and other equipments
Constructions in progress
Net value of intangible assets
Fixed assets rented and borrowed

12. Capital stock Net Fixed capital stock NK(t)=NK(t-1)+ I(t)- D(t)
I(t) investment from national account
D(t) depreciation
I(t) is the problem

13. Capital stock Mid-year real fixed capital stock
Use different benchmark years to estimate mid-year capital stock would be inconsistent
Use extrapolation method to solve this problem

14. Labour Input Labour input-- flows
Man Hours: including man hours of employees, employers, own-account workers, and unpaid family workers
Data– from Manpower survey
Adjusted working hours– Employees’ Earnings Survey

15. Labour Input The source of average wages –The Manpower survey
Equi-employed person
Compute fulltime worker’s average (NH) working hours from Manpower survey
Compute the average working hours for
Own-account worker (AH1), employers (AH2), employees (AH3), and unpaid family workers(AH4)

16. Labour Input Equi-employed person Ri=AHi/NH, i=1,2,3,4
The number of equi-employed person= Ri*Ei where Ei is the number of different classes of employment
The total equi-employed persons for each sectors is sum of Ri*Ei

17. Labour Input Total Labor compensation =
Average Labor compensation (wage)* total equi-employed persons

18. Energy, Materials and Services
Data from Intermediate Input of national accunt
Divide all sectors into three sectors, E, M, S
Using Input-output table to get the input of E, M, S for each sector

19. Example
Energy Material Services Net Final Total Demands Output Energy Material Services Primary Input (Value Added) Total Input

20. Energy input for energy sector
E=IIE*SE=20*10/20=10
Material input for energy sector
M=IIE*SM=20*4/20
II for each sector change
I/O table , once five year

21. K, L, E, M, S Share K,L,E, M, S are known SL=L/Gross output
SE=E/Gross output
SM=M/Gross output
SS=S/Gross output
Capital share Sk= 1-SL-SE-SM-SS

22. Problem and future plan
The ICT part could be a problem
Convert to 16 sectors for
