Since the initial input-output models conceived by Leontief in the 1930s, the input-output theory has gone through a lot of development at the theoretical as well as applied point of view. However, despite all the progress, there is still one point that needs further consideration into the...

Environmental impacts of international trade have been on the agenda of both academicians and policy makers in the last decades. Different aspects of the relationship between international trade and environment have been investigated by utilizing different models either for single countries or...

La presencia de elementos negativos en el vector de inputs primarios en el contexto del marco input-output ha sido considerada un impedimento para la formulación de modelos lineales multisectoriales. Lo cierto es que si se da esta circunstancia, las correspondientes ramas productivas presentan...

This paper assesses the impact of international outsourcing/offshoring practices on the process of wage equalization across manufacturing sectors in a sample of EU27 economies (1995-2009). We discriminate between heterogeneous wage effects on different skill categories of workers (low, medium...

The fragmentation of production across countries has become an important feature of the globalization in recent decades and is often conceptualized by the term, global value chains (GVCs). When empirically investigating the GVCs, previous studies are mainly interested in knowing how global the...

With strong economic growth, China’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions grow quickly. The energy shortage and environmental problem have become the bottleneck of further economic growth. The most popular method to estimate the environmental impact is the Environmental input-output analysis,...

This paper presents a novel stylized fact and analyzes its contribution to the skill bias of technical change in U.S. manufacturing. The share of skilled labor embedded in intermediate inputs correlates strongly with the skill share employed in final production. This finding points toward an...

This paper introduces a new method of regional Input-Output table?s construction. Stemmed from both contributions and critics of Input-Output research, it constitutes a compromise between surveys techniques where regional coefficients are directly collected and nonsurveys techniques where...

This report presents the Basic WIOD CGE model. The model represents the first implementation of the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) into the CGE framework and is tailored to provide a maximum fit with WIOD data. The model is specifically designed such that it can serve as the basis for...

Although Input-Output (IO) models are widely accepted tools for regional scientists and economists alike, there are still many issues to confront during their application, including estimating impacts relative to future years, dynamic impacts, and the introduction of new technologies within...
