Space-enabled technologies underpin communications, navigation, Earth observation, and critical infrastructure, but widely cited estimates of the space economy often rely on proprietary classifications or revenue tallies that abstract from production linkages. We develop a transparent,...

This paper is a first attempt to quantify the potential short-term effects on income and business profits that may occur in the Global South if the Global North were to implement policies to reduce and relocalize consumption and production. To this end, we use the EORA26 global input-output...

This paper aims to estimate the value added and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions embodied in trade between Brazil and the original BRICS countries - China, India, Russia, and South Africa - for the year 2022. Based on data from Exiobase, the emissions indicator reveals that China is the main...

The research examines the implications of relocating foreign direct investment (FDI) in the electronics industry from China to North America. The study focuses on nearshoring to Mexico and backshoring to the United States in the context of increasing trade tensions. Using Input-Output Analysis,...

We argue that most of the existing literature on inflation inequality misses an essential source of disparity by focusing on differences in expenditures while ignoring the effect of a price change on the purchasing power of households' incomes. As a remedy, we propose weighting price changes by...

Public opinion and the perceptions of poorer households consistently indicate that the poor are most exposed to inflation. Meanwhile, the empirical literature on income-dependent inflation inequality remains ambiguous. In this paper, we explore two different explanations for this...

The article measures the economic effects of decisions made by two agents in the cultural and creative sector. Managers of a cultural event decide to produce it: it mobilizes a flow of artists and creatives who materialize their creations. Individuals decide to visit it: it mobilizes a flow of...

We suggest and empirically substantiate that the global production network constitutes an important variable for inflation inequality, as it modulates the impact of cost-push shocks on households. For most price shocks, the production network reduces inflation inequality, however, at the expense...

Regions and industries are not isolated islands; so, when evaluating productivity growth, regional and sectoral growth paths should not be expected to generate independently. Moreover, accounting for spatial interactions via econometric models has become normal practice; but modelling...

Resilience and competitiveness in relation to fossil energy dependencies is of increasing concern to industries and policy makers. We investigate to what extent the competitive position of industries in European regions are sensitive to changes in fossil fuel prices, and whether reductions in...

This special issue of PSL Quarterly Review is devoted to the Solow-Pasinetti debate on productivity and technological progress. Florencia Sember guides the reader through the main aspects of the debate, calling attention to those precursor features of a bifurcation that would later distinguish...

Productivity seems an obvious concept: output per unit of input. Yet, when contextualised within alternative views of production and distribution, challenges across attempts at measuring it are far from trivial. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss some foundational concepts for...

This paper investigates the deindustrialization process in Germany and Spain from 1995 to 2018. It is argued that the deindustrialization trajectories of each country are partially related to their growth models. An analysis in two steps is conducted. First, using the OECD input-output tables, a...

The import content of export (ICE) has served as an indicator of global integration for several decades. It is defined as the share of imported products embodied in exports and can be interpreted as the relative degree of the utilization of global production network (GPN) over the domestic...

With the rising labor costs and increasing resource and environmental constraints in China, coupled with geopolitical conflicts, related industries or production processes are shifting to emerging economies such as Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Mexico. Among these, India's development...

This manuscript explores the role of green hydrogen produced through ethanol reforming in accelerating Brazil's transition to a low-carbon economic framework. Despite ongoing efforts to lessen carbon dependence, Brazil's reliance on biofuels and other renewable energy sources remains inadequate...

Traditional theories of firm boundaries predict trade between vertically related units of the same firm. Using novel data that combine a comprehensive mapping of U.S. multinationals’ production networks with their customs filings, we uncover a strong positive relationship between input-output...

Space-enabled technologies underpin communications, navigation, Earth observation, and critical infrastructure, but widely cited estimates of the space economy often rely on proprietary classifications or revenue tallies that abstract from production linkages. We develop a transparent,...

In 2010, Vietnam promulgated the Law on Environmental Protection Tax, introducing a comprehensive package of environmental levies. However, few studies have examined the impacts of such an environmental tax within the country. This study aims to explore the effects of the environmental...
