The Economic Research Service (ERS) studies food markets. To measure food and ingredient supply chains, ERS researchers have developed a modeling framework for estimating a multiregional social accounting system. The framework uses information from the Economic Census, including the Commodity Flows Survey (CFS), plus U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data and other statistical series to gain efficient and unbiased estimates of interregional trade. In turn, the modeling framework may be used to carry out diagnostic tests on the CFS. This poster presents some salient aspects of the research that pertain to the CFS.
