Notes: Value added by commodity is prepared by (1) calculating ratios of commodity output to total industry output for each industry and digital commodity, (2) applying these ratios to each industry’s value added, and (3) aggregating the result by digital commodity.
These estimates are based on data valued in producers’ prices and exclude transportation costs and wholesale and retail trade markups, with the exception of retail trade markups associated with e-commerce transactions.
