Abstract:

This data study includes social accounting matrix (SAM) for Ghana for the year 2013. The SAM is an extension of the Standard Nexus Structure. It consists of 55 activity sectors, 56 commodity sectors, three types of factors of production: labor (rural and urban disaggregated by level of education), land, and capital (disaggregated by crops, livestock, mining and other sectors). The household sector is divided spatially into urban and rural households. Rural households are further disaggregated into households that earn crop and/or livestock incomes (i.e., farm households) and those that do no earn incomes from either source (i.e., nonfarm households). Households are further disaggregated into per capita expenditure quintiles. This SAM allows analyzing issues at the detailed level and to better understand the potential impacts of policy changes for both better off and more vulnerable households.

Notes:

<p><b> About Nexus Project </b></p> <p>The Nexus Project is a collaboration between various international organizations and national statistical agencies and research institutions to improve the quality of social accounting matrices (SAMs) used for country-level computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling. The Nexus Project establishes common data standards, procedures and classification systems from constructing and updating national SAMs. The Nexus Project addresses the need for greater transparency and consistency in SAM construction in order to strengthen model-based research and policy analysis in developing countries. It also supports more robust cross-country comparisons of economic structure and policy. The guiding principle of the Nexus Project is that all SAM data should be traceable to its original sources and/or assumptions. Nexus SAMs are freely available online or from collaborating organizations and statistical agencies. </p> <p> The Nexus Project is led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). Participating organizations include the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the European Community's Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC-IPTS). Nexus SAMs are usually constructed together with national statistical agencies and are regularly updated to include the most recent available data. The African Growth and Development Policy Modeling (AGRODEP) network helps disseminate Nexus SAMs to African researchers. </p>
