DEFLATOR DASHBOARD

This Dashboard includes 1 tile: Deflators is a table chart showing the deflators for the filtered Data Year, Dollar Year, and Entity Type, with a row for each Entity of the filtered.

When viewing a Dashboard, use the filters to change the data points displayed. Filter options include:

  • Data Year: Most recent by default
  • Dollar Year: Current year by default
  • Entity Type: Industry by default
  • Entity: No default set. Options will include all Industries by default due to Entity Type being Industry by default. Update the Entity Type filter to see other Entity options.

The gear in the upper right provides more options such as downloading the Dashboard to a PDF.  On each tile, click the Table Menu (a series of three vertical dots that appears in the upper right of a tile when hovering over it with your cursor) for the option to download the data within that tile. Choose “Explore from here” within the Table Menu to access more data query options. Exploring from the Dashboard allows you to dig into the data starting from the settings within the Dashboard tile. 

 

EXPLORING DEFLATOR DATA 

Explore the Deflator Data by choosing Deflator Data from the Explore dropdown menu, or by choosing “Explore from here” from a Deflator Data Dashboard Tile or Look. 

By default in Explore > Deflator, a filter is set for the most recent Data Year.

Data Year

All IMPLAN Data Years are possible Dimensions.

Deflator

The appropriate value for converting nominal dollars in the Data Year to real dollars in the Dollar Year (by multiplying nominal dollars by the Deflator). 

Dollar Year

Years 1997 through 2060 are possible Dimensions. Dollar Year only applies when Dollar Type is Real. 


When Dollar Type is Real, Nominal dollar values are adjusted to be in the selected Dollar Year(s). When Filtering by multiple Dollar Years, select or pivot on Dollar Year to prevent potential double counting.

EXPLORE: MEASURES

There are no Measures in the Deflator Data, but the data point provided in this model is “Deflator”. A Deflator is the appropriate value for converting a dollar value from its nominal/unadjusted value to an adjusted value in terms of a given Dollar Year (Deflator = 1 when Dollar Year = Data Year).  Typically Deflators are used to adjust nominal values to be in real/constant dollars so that data from different Data Years can be compared in like dollars after adjusting for inflation.   

This model can be helpful if you are looking to reference deflator values. Rest assured, IMPLAN offers the option of Real and Nominal Dollar values throughout the other models where applicable. No need to deflator/inflator data in the Data Library yourself.
