The BEA produces Make and Use Tables (MUTs), which are the basis for Input-Output modeling in the United States. The make table is a matrix that describes the amount of each commodity made by each industry in a given year. The use table is a matrix that describes the amount of each commodity used by each industry in a given year. The tables are updated annually.

The MUTs are used in the Lightcast Input-Output Model to produce an industry-by-industry matrix describing all industry purchases from all industries.
