Abstract:
This paper describes how we transformed the 2002 Ugandan Supply Use
Table (SUT) into the required structure of a database for the static UgandanCGEmodel
Dixon et al. (ORANI: A multisectoral model of the Australian economy, 1982). We
describe the unique features captured in the Ugandan SUT as well as that of the CGE
database. We highlight the structural differences of the published data and that of the
CGE database. In describing the SUT we identify data issues, such as negative capital
rentals and omitted data entries that had to be addressed before the database could be
constructed. The ideas put forward in this paper describe, in a pragmatic manner, not
only how to transform published data into a CGE database, but also how to create an
additional sector in the CGE database. For the Ugandan CGE database, we created an
additional Oil sector.
