For the input-output analyses using non-square matrix, we propose the method of repeated calcu- lation including the processing of wastes and by-products. Row values which have no counterparts of that of columns are divided proportionally. The proportion is decided beforehand.
We show that errors occur in the estimation of the products which relates to the wastes and the by-products, when the wastes and by-products are added with the major products to make the square input-output matrix.
With the proposed method, the industry of the columns of the input-output analyses can be agents.
We show that the agent-based input-output analyses are possible, using the case of the electric power generation and the paddy rice tillage.
