The increased output of a sector indicates that additional amounts of products are available to be used as inputs by other sectors which can increase their production, which is captured in this indicator vector.

## Usage

forward_linkages(output_coefficient_matrix, digits = NULL)

## Arguments

output_coefficient_matrix

An output coefficient matrix created with the output_coefficient_matrix_create function.

digits

Number of decimals for rounding, defaults to NULL.

## Value

The vector of industry (product) forward linkages in a long-form data.frame, containing the metadata column of the the row names from the output_coefficient_matrix.

## Details

Forward linkages as defined by the Eurostat Manual of Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables (pp. 506--507) and the United Nations Handbook on Supply and Use Tables and Input-Output Tables with Extensions and Applications p637.

Other linkage functions: backward_linkages()

## Examples

data_table = iotable_get()

de_out <- output_coefficient_matrix_create (
data_table, "tfu", digits = 4
)
