Input-output analysis of CO 2 emissions for the industrial sector in Korea

Abstract

This study examines how economic structural change has brought about an increase in CO 2 emissions and analyzes CO 2 emission composition in Korean industry, using an input-output table. It also extends the input-output framework so the roles of imports and exports are taken into account when calculating CO 2 emission. Finally, it adapts attributed CO 2 emissions for use as a new indicator of CO 2 emissions in a country. It turns out that attributed CO 2 emission is a better indicator of the amount of CO 2 emissions, providing a strong incentive to mitigate CO 2 emission, not only in Annex I countries but also in non-Annex I countries. Therefore, industrial and trade structures can be encouraged to move to less energy-intensive industries with the method suggested in this article. Copyright Springer Japan 2000
