Social Accounting Matrix for Egypt 1976

Abstract

A Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) is presented for Egypt for 1976. It is based on the data available to the authors up to early 1978. While some parts may be improved as new data becomes available, the current matrix sheds light on a number of policy issues in Egypt. This work forms a basic part of the overall Egyptian model which is being constructed as part of the Food and Agriculture Program at IIASA
