`getNAICStoBEAAllocation` invalid for two region models #296

Closed bl-young closed 5 months ago

Generating totals by sector for select sectors requires allocating NAICS data to BEA sectors (for 1:many mappings).

For two region models, location is not considered for creating these allocation factors when using industry output to allocate:

As a result, the allocation factors are too small; they should sum to 1 for each region and NAICS. The result is a slight loss in emissions data for some sectors (primarily gov't and housing sectors)
