Input-Output Analysis for Energy and Environmental Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Input-output analysis is an important method for quantitative economic research. It has been widely used to investigate energy and environmental issues at sectoral, regional, and national scales, including the materials/energy/emissions accounting embodied in the commodity trade. These results shed light on policy making for sustainable development and climate change mitigation.

With the present studies of this Topic, we aim to disseminate input-output analysis use and develop the relevant model to deal with more energy and environmental issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Application of input-output analysis to energy issues;
• Environmentally extended input-output analysis;
• Input-output analysis of energy use in agriculture;
• Waste input-output analysis;
• Carbon footprint analysis.
