As the world's largest developing economy, China plays a key role in global climate change and other environmental impacts of international concern. Environmentally extended input–output analysis (EE-IOA) is an important and insightful tool seeing widespread use in studying large-scale...

In this paper, we aim to assess how the changes in aspects of demand impact the use of energy in the developing economies of Brazil, China, and India and the developed economies of Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. To achieve this objective, we use input–output matrices for...

In this paper, we present a hybrid regional input–output model that enables us to compute the intensity measures of CO2 emissions in the state of Minas Gerais. The analysis uses a 2005 input–output matrix and presents the disaggregated data for 35 sectors. The results suggest that the...

To address the problem of global warming, it is important to identify the supply chain paths that drive changes in life cycle CO2 emissions and provide both policy makers and decision makers with the information on the critical paths in order to efficiently reduce the CO2 emissions. In this...

The present paper contributes to modeling a simple social accounting method with cumulative product lifetime distributions and argues how product lifetime extension affects income flow throughout the entire economic system. Empirical analysis focusing on automobile use (ordinary passenger...

This paper draws on Chinese survey data to investigate variations in carbon dioxide emissions across households with different income levels. Rich households generate more emissions per capita than poor households via both their direct energy consumption and their higher expenditure on goods and...

Curbing national carbon emissions and clarifying regional carbon reduction responsibility are two challenges faced by China, both of which are influenced by interregional trade. To exclude the influence of trade balance, this paper proposes a methodology to parcel the pollution haven hypothesis...

The only comprehensive study comparing structural decomposition analysis (SDA) and index decomposition analysis (IDA) was conducted around 2000. There have since been new developments in both techniques in energy and emission studies. These developments have been studied systematically for IDA...

CO2 emission from anthropogenic activities is one of the major causes of global warming. India being an agriculture dependent country, global warming would mean monsoon instability and consequent food scarcity, natural disasters and economic concerns. However with proper policy interventions,...

Environmental assessment recently becomes a major policy issue all over the world. This study discusses how to use Data Environment Analysis (DEA) for environmental assessment for planning corporate strategy and international competitiveness. An important feature of DEA environmental assessment...
