How can I modify the input coefficients for a particular industry?
In some cases, you may want to adjust the intermediate inputs for a particular industry to reflect a different demand vector than that represented by the technical coefficients matrix. This might reflect specific knowledge about a company moving into the region, or about the intermediate inputs to a proposed government undertaking such as a transportation-infrastructure investment. To do so, enter industry sales for the industry at hand. Note that you must use industry sales rather than firm sales, so that no crowding out occurs (see the question on industry vs. firm for further explanation). Next, select Nullify Intermediate Inputs Induced by Industry Sales / Int’l Exports (amount), using the same value that was entered into sales. This will remove the demand for intermediate inputs that would usually be caused by increasing sales or employment for that industry. Note that you can do this for employment as well, but determining the corresponding changes to intermediate demand is more
