The Labor Content of Exports in South Africa and Botswana : A Preliminary Exploration
The LACEX dataset has been recently assembled to compute the (direct and indirect) value of the compensation of employees linked to exports for each sector/country/year. The data has been computed on the basis of a panel of global input-output data...

| description |
The LACEX dataset has been recently
assembled to compute the (direct and indirect) value of the
compensation of employees linked to exports for each
sector/country/year. The data has been computed on the basis
of a panel of global input-output data spanning intermittent
years from 1995 to 2007 from the Global Trade Analysis
Project (GTAP). This represents a form of social accounting
data - a variation on the social accounting matrix (SAM)
where incomes are shown in the rows of the SAM while
expenditures are shown in the columns. The structure of the
data provides a comprehensive and consistent record of
national income accounting relationships between different
sectors and regions, including intermediate and final demand
linkages. This structure of the dataset allows one to obtain
the value added content of final output and exports,
including its compensation of employees’ component. That
includes both the direct and indirect compensation, based on
the backward linkages of each sector with the rest of the
economy. In order to obtain these labor value added
measures, two intermediate multiplier matrixes need to be
calculated. The first is the Leontief inverse matrix, which
measures the inputs contained in a unit of final output.
This matrix contains both direct and indirect inputs. Next,
one needs to calculate a matrix which has the compensation
of employees’ shares of total output. Using these two
matrixes as multipliers one can obtain the compensation of
employees’ shares of exports and final outputs. These shares
are also split between skilled and unskilled workers. |
