Waste Input-Output Material Flow Analysis Model

An Enhanced Input-Output Model for Material Flow Analysis of Manufacturing Processes

A mixed-unit input-output model for environmental life-cycle assessment and material flow analysis.

Materials flow analysis models have traditionally been used to track the production, use, and consumption of materials. Economic input-output modeling has been used for environmental systems analysis, with a primary benefit being the capability to estimate direct and indirect economic and environmental impacts across the entire supply chain of production in an economy. We combine these two type...

An Analysis of Sustainable Consumption by the Waste Input-Output Model

The extension of the waste input-output (WIO) model to analyze households’ sustainable consumption patterns is presented in this article. We estimate direct and indirect emission loads induced by household consumption by the WIO model. The WIO model is much more suitable for the analysis of sustainable consumption than the conventional input-output model because it can deal with the disposal st...

Input - Output Economics and Material Flows

This paper argues that resources constitute the fundamental area of overlap between the interests of input-output economists and industrial ecologists. Three misconceptions about input-output economics obscure this fact: the frequent failure to utilize combined quantity and price input-output models, treatment of value-added as a monetary concept only, and the belief that all input-output model...
