INPUT–OUTPUT ANALYSIS: THE NEXT 25 YEARS (2013, unknown): “Although some constrained balancing algorithms existed previously (e.g. Israilevich, 1986; Lahr, 2001b), one developed in Robinson et al. (2001) seems to mark a divide in the sophistication of them.”
Reconciling Household Surveys and National Accounts Data Using a Cross Entropy Estimation Method (2003, methodology): “In our approach, we use these weights as a “prior” 1See Golan, Judge, and Miller (1996) and Robinson, Cattaneo, and El-Said (2001) for “errors in variables” and “errors in equations” applications of the cross entropy estimation approach. and estimate new coefficients that are “close” to the prior…”
Representative versus real households in the macro-economic modelling of inequality (2003, methodology): “The SAM has been disaggregated using crossentropy estimation methods (Robinson, Cattaneo, and El-Said, 2001) and includes 38 sectors, 14 goods, 14 factors of production (8 labor categories and 6 types of capital), and 10 households types, as well as the usual accounts for aggregate agents (firms,…”
EXIOBASE 3: Developing a Time Series of Detailed Environmentally Extended Multi‐Regional Input‐Output Tables (2018, unknown): “This approach has been shown to deal with conflicting information from different data sources (Robinson et al. 2001) and allows flexibility in the estimation of inter-regional trade accounts (Canning and Wang 2005) as well as reconciling of large databases (Müller et al.”
A Flexible Mathematical Programming Model to Estimate Interregional Input-Output Accounts (2005, unknown): “Robinson, Cattaneo, and El-said (2001) provided a way to handle measurement error in cross-entropy minimization via an error-in-variables formulation .”
Entropy-based Chinese city-level MRIO table framework (2021, background): “The CE approach (denonted by C in Equation 10 generates an outcome equivalent to the widely known RAS, but allows more constraints (Robinson et al., 2001). minC(pij; qij) = ∑ i ∑ j pij · ln ( pij qij ) (10) subject to: ∑ i ∑ j pij = 1; ∑ i pij × v = ccolj (column constraint).”
