About this book
This book reports on the compilation of the 2015 Asia-Japan Transnational Interregional Input-Output Table (2015 AJTIIO), which links Japan’s domestic regions with countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region.
In recent years, international input-output tables compiled by international organizations and research institutes that link the input-output tables of each country have attracted attention as a major tool for analyzing the increasingly complex structures underlying the international division of labor (global value chain). However, the degree of involvement in the international division of labor and the impacts of external shocks are considered to differ across domestic regions, and thus there is growing need for transnational interregional input-output tables (TIIOs), which enable more detailed analyses.
This book examines the compilation methodologies of TIIOs, which make it possible to explicitly grasp and analyze the differences between regions within the same country (Chapter 1), and compiles the 2015 Asia-Japan Transnational Interregional Input-Output Table (2015AJTIIO), which consists of 16 industrial sectors that link eight domestic regions in Japan with six countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region (Chapter 2). In addition, the results of several basic analyses (Chapter 3) and the complete 2015 AJTIIO (Appendix) are presented.

Preface
Preface
This book is the outcome of the research project “Compilation and Use of Transnational Interregional Input-Output Tables,” which was conducted from FY2022 to FY2023.
In recent years, international input-output tables have been utilized as a major tool for analyzing the increasingly complex structures underlying the international division of labor (global value chain). International input-output tables are a useful tool for comparing economic structures across countries and understanding the structures underlying the international division of labor at the national level. However, even within a country, the degree of involvement in the international division of labor and the impacts of external shocks are considered to differ across domestic regions.
Against this background, in this project, we examined the compilation methodologies of transnational interregional input-output tables (TIIOs), which make it possible to explicitly grasp and analyze differences between regions within a country, and then compiled the 2015 Asia-Japan Transnational Interregional Input-Output Table (2015 AJTIIO) as an application of methodologies examined. This table enables comparisons of economic structures and elucidates the division of labor between each of the eight domestic regions of Japan and five countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, several basic analyses were performed from this perspective, including comparing economic structures and measuring the structures underlying the division of labor.
We believe that the compilation of the 2015 AJTIIO will contribute to the further development of methods for compiling international interregional input-output tables, and that the table itself will contribute to a more accurate understanding of the international division of labor between Japan’s domestic regions and other Asian countries and regions as well as the impacts of economic shocks.
Finally, the authors would like to thank the two anonymous in-house reviewers for their constructive comments, which were quite helpful in improving our manuscripts. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Kenji Ikegami of the Publication Division for his assistance in the editing of this book.
