A Social Accounting Matrix for Corsica


Marie-Antoinette Maupertuis and Charles Vellutini
Revue d'Economie Rurale et Urbaine, Number 5, 2009

The first social accounting matrix (SAM) of Corsica is presented for the year 2003. The SAM describes the structure of the Corsican economy in a consistent macroeconomic framework, including an input-output table with five sectors; a balance of payments and an analysis of the main economic transactions between Corsica, the rest of France, the rest of the world, the French central government and local authorities. Another contribution of the SAM is to provide analysts with an empirical basis for applied economic modelling in Corsica. In particular, the SAM paves the way for the development of a Computable General Equilibrium model of Corsica.
