The Expanding Frontiers Of Input Output Analysis

The Expanding Frontiers of Input-output Analysis

Frontiers of Input-output Analysis

This collection of articles by thirty-five prominent economists, regional scientists, and geographers from nine countries includes contributions from Lawrence R. Klein, Clopper Almon, Faye Duchin, Yasuhiko Torii, Peter Nijkamp, Jeffery Round, Edward Wolff, Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, and Benjamin Stevens. The book makes available for the first time recent research using Nobel Laureate Wassily Leontief's theory of input-output analysis. Topics discussed include input-output and econometric models; alternative accounting frameworks; extended models and multiplier decompositions; regional, interregional, and international issues; measurement error and data scarcity; and measurement and implications of technological change.

Frontiers of Environmental Input-Output Analysis

Input-Output Analysis (IOA) is widely used in the field of ecological economics, industrial ecology, and environmental sciences. Industrial Ecology (IE) and Ecological Economics (EE) are promising and growing fields. IOA plays a crucial role in analyzing the related environmental and resource issues and providing quantitative information to many research questions and policy implications. The major aim of this book is to provide not only a comprehensive overview of environmental IOA from 1930s to the present but also the frontiers of environmental IOA including energy structural decomposition analysis, spatial energy structural decomposition analysis, multi-regional waste make-use analysis, augmented waste input-output analysis, dynamic structural decomposition analysis with product lifetime distributions, and endogenous input-output analysis with product lifetime distributions to professionals, practitioners, and students. This book presents a novel dynamic structural decomposition analysis to evaluate the effects of the product lifetime shifts and structural changes such as technological changes and final demand shifts on the life cycle energy consumptions. It also contributes to modelling a simple social accounting method with cumulative product lifetime distributions and argues how product lifetime extension affects energy consumptions and income flow throughout the entire economic system. The book demonstrates the author’s expertise in IOA and is an essential read for students and scholars in the field.
