Purpose and history
The purpose of the Input-output table is by means of an organized tabulation of detailled economical-statistics to inform about the interactions between production, imports and uses in the economy for a given period. The table makes it possible, using only weak assumptios, to undertake model calculations showing interactions in the economy that are not directly observable, neither in the National Accounts nor in the tables themselves.Yearly tables in their present form exist for the years since 1966.
Earlier versions for Denmark were compiled and published in the early 1940's, i.e. before any significant literature relating to the area existed.

Description of Contents
A table is set up on the basis of approx. 2,350 product balances in the yearly national accounts, describing in monetary terms how goods and services have been flowing in the economy. Suppliers are the industries, imports and other primary inputs, including compensation of employees, while the demand side consists of the industries and final demands, e.g. private consumption and exports. The table shows values at basic prices (for imports, incl. customs duties), the price concept with the highest degree of homogeneity between values and quantities.

If the structure of the table is assumed to be constant, the consequences of assumed changes in the final demands or prices of primary inputs may be calculated.

The table is compiled at current and constant (p.t. 2000) prices and in the prices of the previous year.

Statistical Concepts
The national accounts are compiled in accordance with the definitions in the EU's "European System of National Accounts ENS95", which is a European version of the UN's "A System of National Accounts 1993".

The main structure of the national accounts consists of a number of consolidated accounts for the economy as a whole which are called: Goods and services account, Production account, Generation of income, distribution of income and spending of income accounts, Capital account and Rest of the world account.

The Goods and services account shows the value of the total supply of goods and services in the form of output and imports of goods and services. The supply is equivalent to the value of the total use of goods and services distributed between intermediate consumption, final consumption expenditure, gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories and exports of goods and services.

The central variable GDP - Gross Domestic Product - can be found in the Production account. The Generation of income, distribution of income and spending of income accounts show the incomes, which are the result of the Danish value added, to whom these incomes accrue, and how they are used.

The Capital account shows how gross savings have been spent on gross fixed capital formation and changes in inventories, resulting in net lending/net borrowing. This, in turn, corresponds to the balance in the Rest of the world account, which largely corresponds to the balance of the current account in the balance of payments.
