High levels of Japanese investment, particularly during the mid-1980s, prompted research into many aspects of Japanese operations such as work and management organisation, personnel management and...

We use a regional input output (IO) framework and data derived on waste generation by industry to examine regional accountability. In addition to estimating a series of industry waste-output coefficients, the paper considers a series of methods for waste attribution, and practical use for...

The paper examines a method to attribute hazardous waste streams to regional production and consumption activity, and to connect these same waste streams through to different management options. We argue that a method using an input–output framework provides useful intelligence for decision...

The paper examines the expected regional employment returns connected to the development of tidal stream and wave-based electricity generation in a UK region – Wales. New employment provides economic development opportunities and the paper demonstrates that there is a need to develop the...

The paper uses a regional input-output (IO) framework and data derived on waste generation by industry to examine regional accountability for waste generation. In addition to estimating a series of industry output-waste coefficients, the paper considers two methods for waste attribution but...
