About this book
In recent years, international input-output table s have increasingly been relied upon as a useful data source and tool for analyzing the expansion and deepening of international production networks. In this book, we explored a methodology for updating international input-output tables that enables the use of the latest data, and analyzed international production networks by using the updated international input-output table for the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to analysis using new data, this book aims to contribute to the preparation of various international input-output tables, and to analyses using those data, by presenting a general methodology for table updates that is highly versatile.

Preface
Preface
The
purpose
of
this
book
is
to
explore
a
methodology
for
updating
international
input-output
tables,
specifically
for
the
Asia-Pacific
region,
and
to
analyze
international
production
networks
in
this
region
using
the
updated
international
input-output
table.
In
recent
years,
with
the
expansion
and
deepening
of
international
production
networks,
international
input-output
tables
have
increasingly
been
relied
upon
as
a
useful
data
source
and
tool
for
analyzing
both
the
Global
Value
Chain
for
the
international
division
of
labor
and
the
Global
Supply
Chain
for
optimizing
the
procurement
of
raw
materials
production
and
the
sale
of
finished
goods
and
products.
The
Institute
of
Developing
Economies
has
constructed
international
input-output
tables
for
the
Asia-Pacific
region
(the
Asian
table)
since
the
1970s,
which
have
been
widely
used
for
analyses
of
international
production
networks
in
this
region.
However,
the
target
year
of
the
most
recent
Asian
table
available
is
2005,
which
hinders
the
analysis
of
changes
in
international
production
networks
that
have
occurred
since
then.
While
international
organizations
and
other
research
institutions
have
also
begun
to
compile
international
input-output
tables
in
recent
years,
it
is
difficult
to
completely
replace
the
Asian
table
owing
to
differences
across
tables
such
as
the
target
countries/regions,
sector
classifications,
and
target
years.
Against
this
background,
this
book
examines
the
methodology
for
updating
international
input-output
tables,
and
analyzes
international
production
networks
using
the
updated
Asian
table.
In
addition
to
analyses
using
new
data,
this
book
aims
to
contribute
to
the
preparation
of
various
international
input-output
tables,
and
to
analyses
using
those
data,
by
presenting
a
general
methodology
for
table
updates
that
is
highly
versatile.
Finally,
the
authors
would
like
to
thank
two
anonymous
in-house
referees
for
their
helpful
comments
and
suggestions.
We
would
also
like
to
express
our
gratitude
to
Mr.
Kenji
Ikegami
of
the
Publication
Division
for
his
kind
support
in
the
process
of
editing
and
proofreading.
