. In The Netherlands, a strong tradition in the construction and updating of (inter)regional input‐output tables has been built up. The paper gives a brief overview of this Dutch experience and discusses the features of the by now more or less standardized double‐entry bi‐regional construction method (DEBRIOT). This method systematically adds sales and export coefficients to the usual construction procedures. Thus, it introduces consistency checks at the cell level of the input‐output table. Moreover, it offers a non‐survey technique to estimate a regional domestic sales table that is crucial to the double‐entry character of the method.
