A GENERALIZED INPUT-OUTPUT MODEL OF AN ECONOMY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.

- Abstract
Input-output analysis can be extended to an economic system with antipollution measures to describe interdependency among economic sectors and antipollution sectors in the economy. The analysis of environmental repercussions on the economic structure should include the correct identification of active and idle antipollution activities for a given set of final demands and tolerated pollution levels as well as the study of interrelationships among industrial sectors and antipollution sectors. The pollutant balance relationship reveals that the necessity of an antipollution activity can be indicated by the amount of uneliminated pollutant that is discharged into the environment when a pollution standard is imposed by the tolerated pollution level. Through the modified input-output table with the environment column, the amount of each pollutant discharged can be recognized separately from the amount of the pollutant generated by households. This modification leads to the mathematical derivation of the complementary relationships between each antipollution activity and the tolerated pollution level minus the amount of pollution discharged.
