European Multi Regional Input Output Data for 2008-2018

Regional-industry trade data are useful inputs for economists and policy makers for a range of planning and disaster-response applications. Within the European Union whose members enjoy free trade, small variations in these regional-industry flows can often propagate to other member-countries far beyond the original trade-shock. In spite of their importance, this information is either outdated or non-existent in the EU as the official databases only provide data at the national-sectoral or regional-only (non-industry specific) level. To fill this gap, we construct Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) tables for 272 European NUTS-2 regions, building on freight transport data as their main trade route across them. The database covers 10 sectors for industry, services and agriculture
