Input-output model of Morocco built from the HCP supply-use tables (2022-2025). Domestic content, systemic importance and shock propagation, with a bilingual research report and an interactive explorer.
# Domestic Content and Systemic Importance in the Moroccan Economy
An input-output model of Morocco built from the Supply and Use Table published
by the Haut-Commissariat au Plan (national accounts, base 2014), covering 2022
to 2025 with 2024 as the reference year.
The repository contains the full analytical chain: data ingestion and
accounting checks, conversion of the supply-use table into a symmetric
product-by-product table at basic prices, the estimation of linkages,
multipliers and shock responses, a bilingual research report whose every figure
is generated from the model, and an interactive explorer.
The interactive explorer is bilingual (English and French), available in light
and dark modes, and organised in eleven sections. Each one states the formula
actually computed, how to read it, and the corresponding result.

## Research question
Applied input-output work on Morocco commonly ends with a ranking of industries
by output multiplier. That ranking is of limited use: it rests on indices
normalised to the sample mean, it ignores the size of industries, and it is
silent on the quantity that matters for policy, namely how much domestic
product and how many jobs a given expenditure generates on national territory.
This study asks three questions instead.
1. **Domestic content.** How does one dirham of final demand split, industry by
industry, between Moroccan value added, imports and indirect taxation? Which
components of final demand create the most domestic product?
2. **Systemic importance.** Which industries structure the productive system,
measured by what the economy would lose in their absence rather than by a
normalised index? Does the sectoral targeting of industrial policy match?
3. **Influence and propagation.** Which links of the network are critical, and
does the propagation channel retained (demand, supply or price) change the
diagnosis?
The central result is that **import penetration, not the length of the domestic
supply chain, d …
