This article presents the summary estimates of the 1992 benchmark input-output (I-O) accounts in the requirements tables for 97 industries. The summary estimates of the accounts in the make of commodities (production) by industries and the use of commodities (consumption) by industries was presented in the November 1997 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

These summary estimates and more detailed estimates for 498 industries at the I-O six-digit level, including a discussion of the matrix algebra underlying the derivation of the tables, are available on the following diskettes:

• The summary estimates for the make, use, and requirements tables, including estimates of make and use on an approximate 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) basis—product number NDN–0180, one diskette for $20
• The estimates of make, use, and direct requirements at the I-O six-digit level—product number NDN–0178, three diskettes for $60
• The alternative estimates of make and use on an approximate SIC basis at the I-O six-digit level—product number NDN–0179, two diskettes for $40
• The estimates of industry-by-commodity total requirements at the I-O six-digit level—product number NDN–0183, two diskettes for $40
• The estimates of commodity-by-commodity total requirements at the I-O six-digit level—product number NDN–0184, two diskettes, for $40
• The estimates of the I-O commodity composition of final demand in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) at the I-O six-digit level—product number NDN–0185, one diskette for $20
• The estimates of the I-O commodity composition of NIPA personal consumption expenditures and producers' durable equipment at the I-O six-digit level—product number NDN–0186, one diskette for $20
