Recognising the nexus between growth and energy use, a fast growing country like India, is an ideal case for empirical assessment of increasing energy use in terms of consumption pattern driven by shifts in demand and technological changes. While the introduction of new technology contributes to...

The Supply-Use input-output model of the SNA and Eurostat is examined. For the product-by-product IO tables, two hypothesis are possible: quot;product technologyquot;, largely adopted (Eurostat A) and examined here, and quot;industry technologyquot; (Eurostat B). One examines the calculability...

Increasing demand for energy from its fast growing economy notwithstanding, India is committed to reduce energy consumption on account of the concerns for climate change. It is often held that growth in energy demand could be moderated through autonomous changes in production technology. This...

Total pollution emitted by U.S. manufacturers declined over the past 30 years, even though manufacturing output increased. This improvement must result from one of two trends: (1) changes in production or abatement processes ("technology"); or (2) changes in the mix of goods manufactured in the...

In the second half of the twenty century the U.S. economy went through important transformations in terms of both production and network structure between sectors, and also in terms of technology adoption. Using a network perspective we question how these changes in the inter-sector network...

Global value chains (GVCs) have been a vehicle for job creation in developing Asia, but there is mounting concern that more sophisticated and cost-effective technology could displace workers through automation or reshoring of production. We use the demand-based input–output approach in...

This paper analyses the theoretical issues related to the measurement of labour content in the context of general technologies with heterogeneous labour. A novel axiomatic framework is used in order to formulate the key properties of the notion of labour content and analyse its theoretical...

We propose a new method to analyse the changing skills structure of employment in countries based on the input-output structure of the world economy. Demand for jobs, characterized by skill type and industry of employment, is driven by changes in technology, trade and consumption. Using...

This study proposes an alternative methodology for measuring environmentally sensitive productivity growth. The rationale of this methodology is to consider the features of technology appropriately by excluding a spurious technical regress based on the macroeconomic perspective. In order to...
