Tanzania Social Accounting Matrix (SAM), 2009

The Tanzania Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for the year 2009 is a detailed representation of Tanzania's economy. It separates 58 activities and commodities; labor by different level of education levels; and households by rural/urban areas as well expenditure quintiles. Labor and household information is drawn from the most recent Tanzania Household Budget Survey. Finally, the SAM identifies government, investment and foreign accounts. It is therefore an ideal tool for economywide impact assessments, including SAM-based multiplier analysis and computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling.
