Notas técnicas y bases de datos de MESi
The following halved-length summary is in English:
This technical note outlines the creation of a 2022 Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for Panama, augmented by an Extended Account of Employment (EAE). The SAM maps income and expenditure flows across 28 production sectors, ten household income groups, the consolidated government, trade, and the rest of the world. It underpins multisectoral models—Input‑Output and Computable General Equilibrium—to assess policy effects and external shocks. Building the SAM integrated data from the 2021 National Accounting System, the 2017–18 Household Survey, the 2021 government budget and balance of payments, Panama Canal balance sheets, and provisional 2022 GDP from INEC. To harmonize diverse sources and align with the System of National Accounts, the RAS method ensured consistency. The EAE links sectoral output to detailed employment statistics.
