In formal terms, the studied issue is a representative of the class of matrix balancing (updating, disaggregation) problems, often arising in the field of multi-sector economic modelling. These problems are characterised by availability of only partial, limited data and a strong role for prior assumptions, and are typically solved using bi-proportional balancing or cross-entropy minimisation methods. Building on Bayesian highest posterior density formulation for a similarly structured case, we extend the model with specification of prior information based on Dirichlet distribution, as well as employ MCMC sampling. The model features a specific likelihood, representing accounting restrictions in the form of an underdetermined system of equations. The primary contribution, compared to the alternative, widespread approaches, is in providing a clear account of uncertainty.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={A Bayesian Approach to Matrix Balancing: Transformation of Industry-Level Data under NACE Revision}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/103711/PDF-MASTER/mainFile.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cejeme.2016.119197}, keywords={matrix balancing, Bayesian inference, NACE revision, transformation matrix, multi-sector modelling}, }
