Environmental Input-Output Models

Environmental Input-Output Models analyze how different industries and sectors interact with each other and impact the environment. They map the flow of goods, services, and associated environmental effects—like emissions or resource use—through an economy. By understanding these connections, policymakers and researchers can identify which industries contribute most to issues like pollution or resource depletion, and evaluate how changes in one sector affect overall environmental sustainability. These models help in designing strategies for greener growth by providing a comprehensive picture of economic activities and their environmental footprints.
