This two-day training course focused on measuring inter-sectoral linkages. How big are the spillover effects from agricultural growth? How do these compare with growth linkages generated in other sectors of the Ethiopian economy?

To answer these questions, this training course introduced several key concepts:

• Social accounting matrix, which summarizes GDP, it’s sectoral components and how these link to household incomes, government taxation and spending, international trade and investment
• Simple input-output multipliers
• Multi Sectoral, semi input-output multiplieras.

By the end of the two-day course, participants were able to estimate likely growth linkage impacts of agriculture and manufacturing-led economic growth strategies in Ethiopia.
