TLDR
An environmentally extended Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) has been constructed for Brazil for the first time as discussed by the authors, and it has shown that incomes generated by final consumption are highly skewed towards rich households, but energy requirements and carbon emissions are higher for the consumption of the poor.Abstract:
An environmentally extendedSocial Accounting Matrix (SAM) has beenconstructed for Brazil for the first time. Wereview in detail previous studies in thisfield, describe the construction, structure anddata sources of the Brazilian SAM, anddemonstrate the effect of system closure.Examining a range of type-I and type-IImultipliers, we show that incomes generated byfinal consumption are highly skewed towardsrich households, but energy requirements andcarbon emissions are higher for the consumptionof the poor. A significant negative correlationexists between employment and income on onehand, and energy requirements and carbonemissions on the other, while a significantpositive correlation exists between imports,and energy and carbon. These correlationsdemonstrate that there is scope for policiesthat pursue imports substitution and reduceenergy consumption and carbon emissions whilstincreasing employment and income.read more

An input–output based framework to evaluate human labour in life cycle assessment
TL;DR: The integration of HL inputs to product LCIs can improve accuracy of the entire life cycle analysis, since no product would exist without direct and/or indirect HL.

Energy in Brazil: Toward sustainable development?
Amaro Olimpio Pereira,Jeferson Borghetti Soares,Ricardo Gorini de Oliveira,Renato Pinto de Queiroz +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the evolution of the Brazilian energy sector with reference to the results of the business-as-usual scenario of the National Energy Outlook 2030 studies and showed that renewable sources can contribute to maintain a big participation in the production and use of energy, giving the country considerable advantages in economic and environmental terms.

Assessing environmental impacts embodied in manufacturing and labor input for the China-U.S. trade.
TL;DR: Investigation of supply chain manufacturing and EOLI energy use and carbon dioxide emissions embodied in the 2002 China-U.S. trade shows China's E OLI is dominated by the manufacturing of products consumed by workers, while EOLi on the U.s. side is primarily from workers' direct consumption.

Bioenergy and rural development: The role of agroforestry in a Tanzanian village economy
TL;DR: In this article, an Environmentally Extended Social Accounting Matrix (ESAM) at the village level is developed and applied to a rural village in Tanzania to explore the integration of agroforestry systems in rural smallholder systems and analyze income effects of agricultural biomass production for bioenergy purposes in comparison to firewood production.

Structural changes in Brazil's industrial economy, 1960-80
TL;DR: The authors examines the structural changes in Brazil's economy which can be observed through various censuses and input-output tables in the period 1960 to 1980, showing how the country's economy became more vertically integrated in those years, even though it has become more outward-oriented since the early days of importsubstitution.

Environmental Repercussions And The Economic Structure: An Input-Output Approach
TL;DR: In each of its many forms it is related in a measurable way to some particular consumption or production process: the quantity of carbon monoxide released in the air bears, for example, a definite relationship to the amount of fuel burned by various types of automotive engines; discharge of polluted water into our streams and lakes is linked directly to the level of output of the steel, the paper, the textile and all the other water-using industries and its amount depends, in each instance, on the technological characteristics of the particular industry as mentioned in this paper.

Jacques Defourny,Erik Thorbecke +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, structural path analysis is applied to a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) framework and compared with the traditional treatment of Stone (1978) and Pyatt and Round (1979) in terms of transfer, open-loop and closed-loop effects.
