Measuring the contributions of the bioeconomy depends on the concept and method used. The concept of bioeconomy linked to biomass is widely used, and estimating the bio-based share in sectors, activities, or products is a limitation and a challenge. Therefore, the present study aims to propose a...

The bioeconomy is considered a means to achieving a climate-neutral economy as aimed for in the EU Green Deal. For Latvia, the forest-based bioeconomy has the potential to contribute to this aim. An operational definition of the forest-based bioeconomy is needed to calculate its size. This...

In April 2025, the United States abruptly announced exceptionally high tariffs on imports from more than 180 countries (levels not seen in nearly 150 years) shocking the global economy. Within a week, most measures were postponed for 90 days (until July 9, 2025), but tariffs on Chinese goods...

This paper examines how the fragmentation of production across Global Value Chains (GVCs) generates both economic and environmental inequalities. Building on the "smile curve" framework (Mudambi, 2008; Meng et al., 2020), we show that developing countries specialize in low-value-added, high-emission...

Applying the most recent international input-output tables, we examine potential short-term effects of various demand shocks on the Russian economy. Our analysis suggests that a reduction of 1 % in Chinese final demand results in a 0.1 % decline in Russian GDP. Similarly, a 10 % contraction in...

A successful energy transition requires systemic changes and long-term investment in energy, heating and mobility systems. It must be implemented successfully at a regional level. To demonstrate the regional impact, detailed modelling of regional conditions is necessary. To this end, we have...

This paper revisits paradigmatic differences in economics with a focus on input-output modeling. We show that such differences represent deep divides in economic theorizing and impact strongly on the magnitude and signs of expected effects. At the same time estimates from input-output models are...

The Indian economy has been experiencing high rates of growth in recent decades, primarily led by the industrial and service sectors, particularly between 2003 and 2012. However, the agriculture sector has been suffering economic distress despite experiencing increased intersectoral linkages...

Estimating MRIO tables is often hindered by limited access to regional data. The paper presents a novel method for estimating interregional trade matrices based on a gravity-RAS approach using survey and non-survey data at different aggregation levels. The new aggregate-disaggregate-aggregate...

We examine the latest trends in the geographical distribution of value added of final demand and production chains of the US, EU and China based on recently published international input-output tables extending to 2024. Both in final demand and in production chains the share of domestic value...

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 study conducts a thorough quantitative analysis of energy flow and its intensity in 180 inter-provincial sectors of China. To achieve this, this study proposes two models based on the modified hypothetical extraction method and multi-regional input-output model, namely, an inter-regional...

This study aims to assess the economic-ecological impacts of coffee growing of Chapada Diamantina, located in the Brazilian state of Bahia, within the context of the local, state, and national production structure. The intensity coefficients of the use of ecological commodities are quantified by...

This paper revisits the exporter’s environmental premium (EEP) by incorporating emissions embodied in domestically and internationally sourced intermediate inputs. Combining administrative firm-level data and customs records for German manufacturers with an environmentally extended...

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region stands among the most vulnerable areas to the impacts of climate change. At the same time, with lax environmental regulations, this region's integration into Global Value Chains (GVC) is modest. Thus, this paper aims to examine the effect of...

Die Mobilitaetswende ist ein zentraler Baustein für die Erreichung der Klimaziele in Oesterreich. Der Verkehrssektor verursacht rund 28 Prozent der gesamten Treibhausgasemissionen und verzeichnet im Gegensatz zu anderen Sektoren seit 1990 keinen Rueckgang. Der Ausbau oeffentlicher...

Este estudio tiene por objeto estimar el producto potencial de los países de Centroamérica, Haití, México y la República Dominicana entre 1990 y 2022, utilizando filtros estadísticos y la función de producción Cobb-Douglas. El aporte de este ejercicio consiste en estimar el PIB potencial...
