This paper develops the RAWS algorithm to estimate auxiliary tables of indirect taxes and margins related to the Brazilian input-output tables (IOTs) for 2000 and 2005. We derive RAWS by an information loss minimization problem, which explores the data structure from both the IOTs and supply and...
