  • Socio-ecological inequalities in housing consumption

    Open AccessFederico Savini, Mira Kopp et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2026

    The provision of decent housing is both a global social priority and a productive activity with long-term environmental implications. Investigating the unequal distribution of housing resources and their associated greenhouse gas emissions, from heating to materials, construction, and use, allows us to foreground housing as a key site of socio-ecological inequalities in today's economies. This paper develops a model for assessing such inequalitie…

  • Toward the development of subnational hybrid input–output tables in a multiregional framework

    Open AccessEdgar Towa, Vanessa Zeller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2022

    Environmental input–output analyses can be a useful decision support tool at the subnational level, because of its ability to capture economic and environmental impacts at other geographical levels. Yet, such analyses are hindered by the lack of subnational IO tables. Furthermore, the lack of physical product and waste flows in what is known as a “hybrid” table prevents a range of consumption‐based and circular‐economy‐type analyses. We demonstra…

  • How do carbon footprints from LCA and Eeioa databases compare? A comparison of ecoinvent and Exiobase

    Open AccessBernhard Steubing, Arjan de Koning et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2022

    Life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input output analysis (EEIOA) are two widely used approaches to assess the environmental impacts of products and services with the aim of providing decision support. Here, we compare carbon footprint (CF) results for products and services in the ecoinvent 3.4 cut-off and the hybrid version of EXIOBASE. While we find that there is good agreement for certain sectors, more than half of the mat…

  • Global distribution of material inflows to in‐use stocks in 2011 and its implications for a circularity transition

    Open AccessGlenn A Aguilar‐Hernández, Sebastiaan Deetman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2021

    Around 40% of global raw materials that are extracted every year accumulate as in-use stocks in the form of buildings, infrastructure, transport equipment, and other durable goods. Material inflows to in-use stocks are a key component in the circularity transition, since the reintegration of those materials back into the economy, at the end of the stock's life cycle, means that less extraction of raw materials is required. Thus, understanding the…

  • Exiobase 3

    Open AccessKonstantin Stadler, Richard Wood et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    Environmentally extended multiregional input‐output (EE MRIO) tables have emerged as a key framework to provide a comprehensive description of the global economy and analyze its effects on the environment. Of the available EE MRIO databases, EXIOBASE stands out as a database compatible with the System of Environmental‐Economic Accounting (SEEA) with a high sectorial detail matched with multiple social and environmental satellite accounts. In this…

  • Methodology for the Construction of Global Multi‐Regional Hybrid Supply and Use Tables for the Exiobase v3 Database

    Open AccessStefano Merciai, Jannick SchmidtARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    This article describes the algorithm that has been developed within the European Union (EU) FP7 project DESIRE for the construction of the EXIOBASE multiregional hybrid supply and use tables (MR‐HSUTs) version 3. The tables include 43 countries plus five rest‐of‐the‐world regions and are built for the period 2000–2011. MR‐HSUTs are compiled in mixed units, that is, tangible goods in mass units, intangible energy flows in terajoules, and, finally,…

  • Solid Waste and the Circular Economy

    Open AccessAlexandre Tisserant, Stefan Pauliuk et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2017

    Detailed and comprehensive accounts of waste generation and treatment form the quantitative basis of designing and assessing policy instruments for a circular economy (CE). We present a harmonized multiregional solid waste account, covering 48 world regions, 11 types of solid waste, and 12 waste treatment processes for the year 2007. The account is part of the physical layer of EXIOBASE v2, a multiregional supply and use table. EXIOBASE v2 was us…

  • Global Sustainability Accounting—Developing Exiobase for Multi-Regional Footprint Analysis

    Open AccessRichard Wood, Konstantin Stadler et al.ARTICLESustainability2014

    Measuring progress towards sustainable development requires appropriate frameworks and databases. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA) is undergoing continuous refinement with these objectives in mind. In SEEA, there is a need for databases to encompass the global dimension of societal metabolism. In this paper, we focus on the latest effort to construct a global multi-regional input−output database (EXIOBASE) with a focus on envi…
