Die methodische Erfassung und Verknüpfung von wirtschaftlicher Aktivität und ihren Umweltwirkungen ist Thema dieses Bandes. Für Österreich wird zudem empirisch ein Bereich aufgearbeitet, der bisher - wenn überhaupt - nur durch vage Schätzungen erfaßt wurde. Methodische Grundlagen sind die...

During the past decade the issue of a general welfare double dividend (an improvement in environmental quality combined with a positive welfare effect) triggered by a tax shift from labour to energy resources has been extensively debated. In this book, Kurt Kratena studies the employment effects...

This paper combines factor demand functions (for intermediate input and labour) and price equations (derived from a Generalized Leontief cost function) with the traditional input-output price model. The cost functions determine factor demands for materials and labour as well as output prices at...

This paper analyses the role of different components of technical change on energy intensity by applying a Translog variable cost function setting with (short- run) fixed capital to the new EU KLEMS dataset for five selected EU countries (Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, UK and Spain). The framework...

This paper deals with the issue of updating input-output (I-O) coefficients within a large-scale disaggregated econometric macro-model of the Austrian economy. Capturing the changes in input coefficients over time is an important issue in I-O modelling due to a lack of recent benchmark I-O...
