Examining the global environmental impact of regional consumption activities — Part 2: Review of input–output models for the assessment of environmental impacts embodied in trade

TL;DR: Turner et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a detailed review of single and multi-region input-output models used to assess environmental impacts of internationally traded goods and services, and identified six major models that employ multi-sector, multi-Region inputoutput analysis in order to calculate environmental impacts embodied in international trade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Examining the global environmental impact of regional consumption activities — Part 1: A technical note on combining input–output and ecological footprint analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a literature review of recent methodological and empirical developments in this area and provide an explicit analysis of the problems that prevent the application of the full method and identification of the most appropriate short-cut methods in a transparent way.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of increased efficiency in the industrial use of energy: A computable general equilibrium analysis for the United Kingdom ☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an economy-energy-environment computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for the UK to measure the impact of a 5% across the board improvement in the efficiency of energy use in all production sectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do increases in energy efficiency improve environmental quality and sustainability

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the theoretical conditions under which such effects would occur and explored their likely significance using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Scottish economy and found that a general improvement in energy efficiency in the production sectors of the economy initially produces rebound effects that eventually grow into backfire.
Journal ArticleDOI

Negative rebound and disinvestment effects in response to an improvement in energy efficiency in the UK economy

TL;DR: This paper investigated the conditions under which rebound effects may occur in response to increases in energy efficiency in the UK national economy and found that, while there is positive pressure for rebound effects even where (direct and indirect) demands for energy are very price inelastic, this may be partially or wholly offset by negative income, competitiveness and disinvestment effects.
