What does an export pull through the economy?
Pick an export. Follow $100 of it back through the industry that makes it and that industry's suppliers, to where the money ends up: wages, profits, imports, wear and tear on equipment, and taxes.
Band widths are dollars out of each $100 of exports, year to March 2020. Click an industry for its profile.
How this is worked out
Stats NZ's input-output tables record what every industry buys from every other. From them, the total requirements table gives how much each industry must produce, directly and through its own suppliers, for $1 of an industry's sales.
Each industry then splits every dollar of its output into wages (compensation of employees), profits (operating surplus), wear and tear (consumption of fixed capital), imports and taxes less subsidies. Multiplying the two traces the $100 to where it ends up; the pieces add to $100.
Output supported elsewhere counts the sales of every other industry in the chain. It's larger than $100 because a dollar is counted each time it changes hands.
Caveat: the tables are for the year to March 2020, the latest Stats NZ has published. Scaling today's export values by them assumes industries buy in much the same way.
