Abstract

In policy analysis, there is a continuing tension and interplay between issues, models, and data. Issues and models have changed in recent years and there is a need for evolution in the underlying economywide economic database. We discuss accounting frameworks for integrating micro survey data with macro data from the national economic accounts. We take a modeler's perspective, arguing that new accounts are needed to support policy modeling. We discuss in detail the use of a social accounting matrix (SAM). A SAM provides a data framework which reflects an actor/transaction view of the economy and supports disaggregated economywide modeling. We discuss the relationship between a SAM and the existing national econonmic accounts for the United States, including the national income and product accounts (NIPA) and the input-output accounts.
