“…These findings have provided evidence that the inputs of the construction industry have not changed significantly over time or across economies. IO tables have also been applied to the study of the construction sectors in many developing economies, such as China (Wu and Zhang, 2005), Thailand (Kofoworola and Gheewala, 2008) and Turkey (Gundes, 2011b).…”

The Australian construction industry continues to play an important role in the national economy. Analysis using input–output tables makes it possible to understand the role of the construction industry in Australia’s economy and its relationships to other major industries over years. This study applies several economic indicators to investigate the construction industry’s contributions to gross national product and gross national income, as well as its backward and forward linkage indicators, and its output and input multipliers. The paper also investigates the purchases of goods and services by the construction industry from other sectors and its sales to other industries over the analysis period. Findings from this research may help policymakers to better understand the economic linkages between the construction industry and other major industries, and the structural changes in its inputs and outputs in relation to these others.

“…Housing itself accounts for 58% of workers in the construction sector, with slightly more than half of them unskilled. Kofowolora and Gheewala (2008) estimate that for the Thai construction sector, the Type I employment multiplier-defined as the total direct and indirect employment generated as a ratio of the direct employment generated by an expenditure of one unit-was 1.46 and was ninth highest of 15 sectors. They suggest that the trend in the Thai construction sector is toward capital-intensive and labor-saving technologies.…”

“…Based on input-output tables for Association of Southeast Asian Nations members in 1975, Park (1989) found that the sum of direct and indirect backward linkages for the construction sector ranked first out of 23 sectors in the Philippines; second in Malaysia; fourth in the Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Thailand; and sixth in Indonesia.

“…As well, housing data is often not disaggregated to distinguish between new buildings as distinct from maintenance and repair (Pietroforte and Bon 1999). Kofowolora and Gheewala (2008) use input-output tables for 180 sectors in Thailand for 1995, 1998, and 2000. The construction sector is divided into seven subsectors: residential, nonresidential, other constructions, public works for agriculture and forestry, nonagricultural public works, construction of local plant, and construction of communication facilities.…”

“…Additionally, the sectorial aggregation involves identical impacts assumed for all activities included in each economic sector (Corona et al 2016a). Despite these limitations, this framework has been widely used to predict future impacts (Barrett et al 2013) and support decision-making processes (Baumol and Wolff 1994), as well as for identifying key economic sectors (Archer and Fletcher 1996;Kofoworola and Gheewala 2008).…”

2 Algunas personas quieren que suceda, otras esperan que suceda, otras hacen que sucedaA mis padres, abuela, hermano y familia 3 AgradecimientosCon esta sección pretendo reflejar, en unos pocos párrafos, mi enorme agradecimiento a todas aquellas personas que han contribuido, de un modo y otro, a realizar este objetivo.En primer lugar, quería agradecer una vez más (ya he perdido ya la cuenta) a mi directora de tesis, la Dra. Natalia Caldés. El porqué es más complicado de expresar, digamos que, básicamente, por todo. Empezando por el infinito aprendizaje a su lado, esta tesis ha sido un largo recorrido en el que puedo decir que no he estado sola en ningún momento. Sus aportaciones técnicas y empujones en momentos críticos han sido imprescindibles. Muchísimas correcciones y tiempo robado en los cuales la paciencia y empatía siempre han estado presentes, además de otras muchas bondades personales. He tenido una suerte inmensa por tenerte de directora y mucho más como amiga, gracias por toda tu ayuda y gracias por creer en mí desde el primer momento. También agradecer a mi director Dr. Alberto Garrido por su apoyo y correcciones que han ayudado a mejorar la tesis. Como no agradecer a toda la Unidad de Análisis de Sistemas Energéticos de Ciemat. Empezando por Yolanda y Cristina, muchas gracias por dejarme aprender tanto, por las largas discusiones y enriquecedoras modificaciones, y también por vuestra paciencia y el buen trato personal. También agradecer al resto de la unidad por los comentarios de mejora en las presentaciones y los infinitos buenos momentos con Israel, Carmen, Ana, Dani, Helena, Andrés y todas las personas que en algún momento estuvieron en la unidad: Diego, Rosa, Marta, Pilar, etc. Por último, especial agradecimiento a Eric, por su disposición a ayudarme siempre con pequeñas grandes cosas, y por la paciencia; y a Marylin, mi compañera batalla, con la que he recorrido todo este proceso y hemos compartido juntas todas las sensaciones de esta etapa.No me puedo olvidar de algunas personas que han sido elementos clave para esta tesis. Agradecimientos a la PSA, a Almudena Bailador y a Rafael Pérez por la ayuda en los casos de estudio. Gracias a Christian Oltra y Roser Sala por el aprendizaje y estancia en el CISOT. Especial agradecimiento al Dr. Luis Crespo, quien me ha enseñado tanto sobre la tecnología solar y me ha ayudado a otorgar al trabajo una calidad técnica, además de los buenos momentos. Asimismo, muchas gracias al Dr. Antonio Rodríguez por toda la ayuda en los temas relacionados con México, además del cariño recibido.I also would like to thank some of the experts I had the opportunity to meet, attend their classes and discuss with in UC Berkeley: Dr. Alasdain Cohen, Dr. Daniel Kammen, Dr. David Dornfeld, Dr. Nicholas Sakellariou and Dr. Steven Weissman. 4En un ámbito más personal, quiero agradecer a mis padres, imprescindibles en cada momento de mi vida y por supuesto especialmente en éste, los que me han dado la oportunidad de formarme y poder realizar este trabajo. Los que me han ayudado en l...
