The health care sector in the economies of the European Union: an overview using an input-output framework.

Given that in the EU and EA as a whole, the supply of secondary products by the health care activities industry is almost insignificant (less than 3% of the total supply of products of this industry), and provided that both tables are valued at the same prices (basic prices), the results obtained should not be very different. 12 With respect to direct forward linkages of health care services, the rows of the use and SIOT tables present the two possible types of use for each type of product: (1) as intermediate consumption in the production of the different industries or products, and (2) to meet final uses (final demand) whether of final consumption, investment or exports.
