The literature on stochastic input--output (I--O) analysis has paid considerable attention to the bias in the Leontief inverse. This paper extends previous studies by assuming supply and use tables (SUTs rather than I--O tables or input coefficients matrices) to be stochastic. This is a natural...

We explore two different worldwide multi-regional input-output (MRIO) databases (Global Trade Analysis Project-MRIO and World Input-Output Database) for the calculation of the global carbon footprint (CF) of nations. We start our analysis with a description of the main characteristics of the...

Irrigation is the main user of water in Spain, and the price paid for this resource has long been lower than its cost. The recent EU Water Framework Directive requires that all costs be recovered, but application has had perverse effects. In some cases, farms have become economically unviable,...

This paper develops a method to consolidate national supply-use tables (SUTs) into a single supra-regional SUT. The method deals with mirror trade statistics problems, such as the different valuation of imports and exports, and it corrects for double-counting re-exports. The method is tested by...

Product input--output (IO) tables are mainly constructed on the basis of product and/or industry technology assumptions. The choice is not trivial and deserves empirical analysis using input and output data at the level of establishments. This paper offers input--output compilers econometric...

This paper formalises the so-called Supply-Use Based Econometric (SUBE) approach that allows for the introduction of econometric analysis in the calculation of backward input--output multipliers of the Leontief-type quantity model, using rectangular supply and use tables. The SUBE approach does...

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the International Input--Output Association and the 25th volume of <italic>Economic Systems Research</italic>. To celebrate this anniversary, a group of eight experts provide their views on the future of input--output. Looking forward, they foresee progress in terms of...

This review is the introduction to a special issue of <italic>Economic Systems Research</italic> on the topic of global multiregional input-output (GMRIO) tables, models, and analysis. It provides a short historical context of GMRIO development and its applications (many of which deal with environmental...

This article describes the construction of the World Input-Output Tables (WIOTs) that constitute the core of the World Input-Output Database. WIOTs are available for the period 1995-2009 and give the values of transactions among 35 industries in 40 countries plus the 'Rest of the World' and from...
