“…With the introduction of an extended input-output framework, research on energy consumption and CO 2 emissions using input-output method is feasible [5,6]. A first group of studies, called static input-output analysis, which, based on the hypothesis of structural stability, analyzed the impact of changes in the flow variables on the final demand [7,8].…”

Understanding the drivers of changes in CO 2 emissions is vital for a range of stakeholders. Hence, this paper explores the main drivers of CO 2 emissions in China using structural decomposition analysis based on constant price and non-comparative input-output tables. The driving forces at both nationwide and industrial levels are divided into nine effects. To investigate the effects from an energy perspective, all nine effects are further decomposed into three kinds of fossil fuels. Our empirical results show that the energy intensity effect can significantly stimulate emission reduction. Though the energy structure effect is weak, the trend of which over time shows that the energy structure is shifting to low carbon. Additionally, among final demand effect, the urban consumption, investment, and export expansion effects predominantly overwhelm other effects and contribute significantly to CO 2 emissions. Although the short term Leontief effects fluctuate greatly, the total Leontief effect in 1997-2010 reveals that it can significantly contribute to CO 2 emissions. Finally, detailed and concrete policy implications for CO 2 emission reduction are provided.

“…The environmental analysis uses an embodied framework proposed by Isard et al [58] and Leontief [59]. Several studies under this framework have addressed analyzing the embodied energy or emission flows [60][61][62], while Su and Ang [63] especially, proposed the carbon intensity concept to consider embodied emissions.…”

The concept of carbon efficiency is closely related to energy efficiency but embraces a broader range of carbon emission sources. Many studies have covered carbon efficiency, investigating the climate crisis, economic growth, and a sustainable future; however, it is hard to agree that there is a consensus on the definition of carbon efficiency. To fill this gap, we reviewed the literature on carbon efficiency, especially the empirical studies that quantitatively measured carbon efficiency. As a result, we have categorized the articles into three groups based on defined criteria of carbon efficiency. We have also classified the methodology to measure carbon efficiency and to discuss misleading definitions in the empirical studies. Lastly, we suggest a desirable direction to define and measure carbon efficiency along with discussion points. Carbon efficiency is different from energy efficiency and our review will help build the carbon efficiency concept in a proper direction.

“…Environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) tables were created that relate environmental data to economic input-output tables to produce consumption-based indicators and to overcome the second disadvantage (Steinegger, 2019). The first EEIO analysis framework was developed in Isard et al (1968) and Leontief (1970). At the same time, when EEIO is applied, the simplified assumption is used that imported goods are manufactured using the same production technology as domestic goods (Hertwich, 2011;Lenzen et al, 2006;Tukker & Jansen, 2006).…”

Household consumption accounts for the largest share of the global anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The literature assessing the environmental impacts of household consumption is mostly focused on developed economies, thus, leaving a critical gap when it comes to assessing the impacts of household consumption and of related environmental policies in developing countries. Therefore, in order to fill this gap, this study analyzes household consumption-based emissions for high income, upper middle income, lower middle income, and low-income countries from six different geographical regions. It assesses the sector-wise CO2, CH4 and N2O-footprints and evaluates their social costs. The study methodology employs an environmentally extended multiregional input–output model from the EORA26 database which uses a common 26-sector classification for all countries. The findings show that household consumption accounts for 48–85% of the national CO2-footprints. (The values are similar for CH4 and N2O.) Developing economies have lower CO2-footprints of household final consumption than developed economies, but exert a higher pressure on the environment with respect to CH4- and N2O-footprints per capita. That highlights the necessity to focus environmental policies in developing countries on tackling CH4 and N2O on a first-priority basis. The study also identifies those sectors where the social costs of aggregated CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions make up a substantial share of the industries’ output, thus, indicating the level of technological efficiency of the respective economies and the industries where more stringent environmental regulation should be implemented.
