Glossary of the 1993 SNA - Definition of Term

TermSAM (social accounting matrix)
DefinitionA SAM (social accounting matrix) is a means of presenting the SNA accounts in a matrix which elaborates the linkages between a supply and use table and institutional sector accounts; a typical focus of a SAM on the role of people in the economy may be reflected by, among other things, extra breakdowns of the household sector and a disaggregated representation of labour markets (i.e., distinguishing various categories of employed persons).
