Definition
Environmental Impact (or Environmental Stressor) in the context of an Input-Output Model denotes an extension of the basic IO model via a system of satellite accounts that provides insights into the environmental footprint of economic activities.
Approach
Each MRIO's environmental consumption-based accounts (CBA) result can be understood as a product of three variables:
- a flow (transactions) matrix Z describing the economic structure between various production sectors
- an environmental stressors matrix (or ‘satellite account’) F describing the per-sector direct environmental impacts of production
- a consumption bundle Y describing the composition of final consumption (Final Demand).
The total footprint C is a function of these three variables: .
Formula
where:
- is a vector of impact intensities per sector
- is the total impact for given final demand Y
