Abstract:
|
Extending the traditional input-output model to account for the environmental impacts
of production processes reveals the channels by which environmental burdens are
transmitted throughout the economy. In particular, the environmental input-output
approach is a useful technique for quantifying the changes in the levels of greenhouse
emissions caused by changes in the final demand for production activities. The inputoutput
model can also be used to determine the changes in the relative composition of
greenhouse gas emissions due to exogenous inflows. In this paper we describe a method
for evaluating how the exogenous changes in sectorial demand, such as changes in
private consumption, public consumption, investment and exports, affect the relative
contribution of the six major greenhouse gases regulated by the Kyoto Protocol to total
greenhouse emissions. The empirical application is for Spain, and the economic and
environmental data are for the year 2000. Our results show that there are significant
differences in the effects of different sectors on the composition of greenhouse
emissions. Therefore, the final impact on the relative contribution of pollutants will
basically depend on the activity that receives the exogenous shock in final demand,
because there are considerable differences in the way, and the extent to which,
individual activities affect the relative composition of greenhouse gas emissions. Keywords: Greenhouse emissions, composition of emissions, sectorial demand,
exogenous shock. |
