abstract = {Large databases mapping commodity flows measured in various
units such as currency, tons or caloric values are the
backbone of many recent environmental-economic studies.
Their construction typically requires combining large
amounts of partial information in a series of successive
steps. These include the estimation of unobserved flows,
transformations between units, handling aggregation
re-classification and, finally, reconciling estimates with
mass, financial and/or energy balances. This paper proposes
a maximum entropy model that allows for the simultaneous
estimation of unobserved commodity flows as well as
corresponding prices such that data constraints in various
units of measurement, levels of aggregation and possibly
mismatching classifications are simultaneously satisfied.
Its capability is assessed through a Monte-Carlo analysis
and its performance compared with a simple step-wise
approach. Our results suggest that the simultaneous approach
performs significantly better in a vast majority of cases.},
