- The report utilizes the input-output table data to quantify the cost structure and cost transmission capabilities of various industries, focusing on the intermediate product quadrant, which represents the demand of each economic sector for products from other sectors. The cost distribution weight for a sector is calculated by dividing the column data of the input-output table by the total input minus operating surplus for that sector[12][13][16] - A regression model is employed to measure the cost transmission capability of industries. The estimated cost and product price (PPI) series are regressed, with the regression slope serving as a proxy for cost transmission capability. To account for inventory buffering effects, the optimal lag period is determined by calculating the time-lagged correlation coefficient between cost and price series, and regression is performed at the optimal lag[16][17][18] - The cost transmission capability coefficients reveal that upstream industries such as oil, coal, and iron ore exhibit strong cost transmission capabilities due to low cost elasticity and high product price elasticity. Midstream industries like steel and chemicals also demonstrate strong cost transmission capabilities, often exceeding 1, indicating that price increases in upstream resources do not harm their profitability. In contrast, downstream industries generally have weaker cost transmission capabilities, often below 1, making them more vulnerable to raw material price increases[18][19] - The report quantifies the profit margin changes across industries under the impact of a 50% increase in oil prices. Industries with rigid downstream pricing and direct exposure to energy costs, such as gas production and supply, suffer the most. Other significantly affected industries include non-metallic mineral mining, rubber and plastic products, and printing. However, industries like chemical manufacturing and chemical fiber manufacturing benefit from strong cost transmission capabilities, which mitigate the impact of rising oil prices on their profit margins[19][20] - The average inventory turnover months of industries are calculated using industrial enterprise revenue and inventory data. The analysis finds a positive correlation between inventory turnover months and the lag in product price changes relative to cost increases. Industries with higher inventory turnover months have greater "buffering capacity," allowing them to delay price increases and absorb cost pressures for longer periods[23][24][26]
