Definition

Environmental Input-Output Database is any information system that systematically collects information about economic networks, in particular their environmental footprint.

Catalog

  • The EXIOBASE database, developed explicitly to address environmental issues
  • The FIGARO database by Eurostat (Full International and Global Accounts for Research in Input-Output Analysis)
  • The OECD-ICIO database and the Trade in Value Added database
  • The WIOD was also designed to provide data on socio-economic and environmental indicators at the industry level for use in a wide variety of applications.
  • The USEEIO database (US Environmentally-Extended Input-Output is a family of models designed to bridge the gap between traditional economic calculations, sustainability, and environmental decision-making
  • The EORA MRIO Multi-Region IO database, developed explicitly to address environmental issues
  • GTAP Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP), was developed to analyse trade-policy measures and impacts.
  • ADB-MRIO: Asian Development Bank: Multi-Regional Input-Output Tables
  • IDE Jetro: Asian International Input-Output Tables (AIIOTs). Goes back to the 1970s, but covers mainly Asian countries and is hence not suitable for global, MRIO-based, assessments
  • FMO
  • Encore

Availability

  • EXIOBASE, WIOD, FIGARO, USEEIO and OECD-ICIO can be used free of charge
  • EORA and GTAP both charge fees for non-teaching institutions to access the data
  • GTAP Data Base releases that are at least two versions old are freely available

Scope

  • OECD-ICIO, FIGARO and WIOD were developed to illustrate global production and value-added trade.

Issues and Challenges

  • None of these databases currently have consistent time series on a yearly basis
  • MRIO data sets differ in their underlying data sources in terms of country coverage, the timespan of available data, and the level of detail for industries or products. They also differ in terms of databases accessibility (e.g., paywalls and data formats) and the methodological choices made in the compilation process
