Description

Subtract importedInputs from positive exportValue for domesticValueAdded and divide by exportValue for domesticContentFraction.

External-account identities reconcile flows, stocks, and explicit adjustments. Signed residuals are useful diagnostics but do not identify their cause or verify statistical classification.

Subtract importedInputs from positive exportValue for domesticValueAdded and divide by exportValue for domesticContentFraction.

When to use this tool

Use Processing Trade Domestic Margin Share when you need a transparent trade or external-account reconciliation term.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter exportValue, importedInputs, domesticInputs. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read domesticValueAdded, domesticContentFraction, netProcessingMargin. Use the output convention below.

Subtract importedInputs from positive exportValue for domesticValueAdded and divide by exportValue for domesticContentFraction. Subtract domesticInputs again for netProcessingMargin.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • Inputs may exceed export value, producing negative outputs; these supplied accounting terms do not establish rules-of-origin eligibility.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Reconcile the full dataset with its accounting and valuation conventions before interpreting a balance or value-added estimate.
