The global economic costs of substituting dietary protein from fish with meat, grains and legumes, and dairy
This paper estimates the costs to replace fish by protein from meat, from grains and legumes, or from dairy products. We apply the World Trade Model, an input–output model of the interactions among major world regions based on comparative advantage, to analyze alternative scenarios about protein content and sources in global diets. We find that the substitution of fish by meat or dairy entails several trillion U.S. dollars of additional costs ann…
Prospects for Cellulosic Biofuel Production in the Northeastern United States
Secure access to energy and food are two of the challenges facing the Northeast region of the United States. Traditional biofuel feedstocks, such as corn and oil seed, are able to satisfy energy requirements. However, they compete with food production for desirable land and water resources and, in any case, are not likely to exploit the region's current comparative advantages. This study investigates a potential solution to the energy security pr…
Combining Multiregional Input‐Output Analysis with a World Trade Model for Evaluating Scenarios for Sustainable Use of Global Resources, Part II
The standard multiregional input‐output (MRIO) framework can be combined with the outcomes of analysis using a model of the world economy to calculate footprints and other path‐based results for scenarios about the future. A companion article, entitled “Combining multiregional input‐output analysis with a world trade model for evaluating scenarios for sustainable use of global resources, part I: Conceptual framework,” describes our approach for e…
Combining Multiregional Input‐Output Analysis with a World Trade Model for Evaluating Scenarios for Sustainable Use of Global Resources, Part I
Consumption in a particular country often entails resource extraction, production, and environmental degradation in remote locations. This fact has stimulated a growing body of empirical analysis using input‐output (I‐O) databases and techniques to reveal and quantify the underlying linkages. Two lines of research rooted in I‐O economics, multiregional input‐output (MRIO) analysis and I‐O modeling of the world economy, describe and analyze these …
A Global Case‐Study Framework Applied to Water Supply and Sanitation
One goal of the local‐to‐global research program is to explore ways to reduce, if not reverse, threats to sustainability through analysis using mathematical models applied to shared databases. This article describes a global case‐study framework for reconciling top‐down with bottom‐up approaches so they are mutually reinforcing for identifying and evaluating the effectiveness of different scenarios describing potential future actions. A strategic…
Embodied Resource Flows and Product Flows
We develop the absorbing Markov chain (AMC) for describing in detail the network of paths through an industrial system taken by an embodied resource from extraction through intermediate products and, finally, consumer products. We refer to this as a resource‐specific network. This work builds on a recent literature in industrial ecology that uses an AMC to quantify the number of times a resource passes through a recycling sector before ending up …
Shifting Trade Patterns as a Means of Reducing Global Carbon Dioxide Emissions
This article extends and applies the world trade model with bilateral trade (WTMBT), a linear program with any number of goods, factors, and regional trade partners that determines regional production, bilateral trade patterns, and region‐specific prices on the basis of comparative advantage by minimizing factor use. The model provides a consistent analysis of the global production system, representing geographical location at a regional level, r…

Sustainable Consumption of Food
This article describes the integration of life‐cycle assessment methods with a new input‐output model of the world economy to analyze the environmental and economic implications of alternative future diets. The article reviews findings by industrial ecologists about the energy and land required for the production and consumption of alternative foods and diets in several European countries. It also reviews attributes of foods and diets identified …

Linking social expenditures to household lifestyles
Structural Economics and the Quality of Life
People's quality of life depends on the social relationships of their everyday lives and the technological choices that affect them. These features are readily described within the framework of social accounting, provided that relevant categories of households, workers, and economic activities are used. The taxonomies can be devised in ways that reveal systematic differences in the roles of different social groups (for example, those in the infor…
Population Change, Lifestyle, and Technology
The author argues that the determination of how many people the Earth can support depends upon where and how people live and the state of natural systems. Schumacher is quoted as proposing that technology be chosen that is appropriate in the context of the social system in which it is employed. The engineer Florman is credited with rebutting Schumacher on social technical and economic grounds. This author argues that Schumachers ideas would be ac…
Technological change, trade and the environment
Trade policies and environmental policies have evolved largely independently, and until recently their interactions attracted little attention. There is much discussion of the institutional arrangements and economic instruments needed to embody environmental concerns in trade policy, but relatively little discussion of the role of technology. This paper describes the long-term, environmentally-motivated technological change involved in shifting f…
