These three minor countries are the only contributors to these BEA regions. I'm a bit confused as to why that is and what that does to our RoW emission factor. Note that AsiaAndPac shows up in a contributions by region here, but I doubt that Wallis and Futuna is a good proxy for that

This has been nagging at me. It turns out these codes reflect the EXIOBASE rest of world regions: image

(^^ from the SI)

We need to make sure that we are getting imports from BEA/Census for all countries, and assigning those not in EXIOBASE to these regions. This will likely have major impacts on the ROW results.
