Abstract:
|
The environmental input-output approach reveals the channels through which the
environmental burdens of production activities are transmitted throughout the economy.
This paper uses the input-output framework and analyses the changes in Spanish
emission multipliers during the period 1995-2000. By decomposing the global changes
in multipliers into different components, it is possible to evaluate separately the
economic and ecological impacts captured by the environmental input-output model.
Specifically, in this study we distinguish between the effects on multipliers caused by
changes in emission coefficients (the ecological impacts) and the effects on multipliers
caused by changes in technical coefficients (the economic impacts). Our results show a
significant improvement in the ecological impacts of production activities, which
contributed negatively to changes in emission multipliers. They also show a
deterioration in the economic impacts, which contributed positively to changes in
emission multipliers. Together, these two effects lead to a small reduction in global
multipliers during the period of analysis. Our results also show significant differences
in the individual behaviour of different sectors in terms of their contribution to
multiplier changes. Since there are considerable differences in the way individual
sectors affect the changes in emission levels, and in the intensity of these effects, this
means that the final effects will basically depend on the activity considered. Keywords: emission multipliers, multipliers' changes, ecological impacts, economic
impacts. |
