The Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry (STI) leads OECD research and policy work on knowledge-based sources of economic and social growth and, more specifically, on the translation of science and technology into innovation. It works in the subject areas of science, innovation, biotechnology, nanotechnology and industry, among others. OECD Science, Technology and Industry Working Papers cover this broad range of issues and consist of studies, both technical and analytical in nature, prepared by staff or outside consultants. It includes working papers, which are meant to share early knowledge and elicit feedback, and occasionally policy reports, which are officially declassified by an OECD Committee.

Recently however, there seems to have been a notable increase in the use of input-output tables in empirical analyses addressing a wide range of policy issues. This is partly due to the improved availability and quality of national input-output tables as well as modern IT capabilities allowing more complex analyses to be undertaken by more researchers. A quick glance through recent editions of the journal Economic Systems Research confirms the variety of research topics that can benefit from inputoutput analysis as does a recent user survey conducted by OECD...
