This book introduces the Eora, Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP)
and World Input-Output (WIOD) databases and provides detailed
metadata on the data sources, database structures and construction
techniques used to build each system. It offers a detailed account
of how multi-regional input-output (MRIO) databases are used to
calculate consumption-based accounts - guiding the reader through
each mathematical step and explaining the associated equations. It
demonstrates that different MRIO databases calculate different
national level consumption-based CO2 accounts. If these results are
to be used as evidence in climate policy-making, analysts need to
be confident about the accuracy of the databases and understand why
the results differ. It carefully explains the mathematical
equations behind each technique and provides a link to a repository
where the reader can access specially prepared MATLAB functions
associated with the techniques. To make meaningful comparisons
between the three MRIO databases, each is mapped to a consistent
classification system comprising 40 countries and 17 sectors.
Further, readers can access the aggregated databases using the link
provided. The effect of this aggregation is shown to be minimal, so
readers can be confident that the aggregated versions of each
database reflect the full-sized versions. The book concludes by
making recommendations as to how future MRIO databases could be
accurately and consistently constructed and how they should be used
in policy-making in light of the findings. Endorsement Anne Owen
did a splendid job in comparing the most important Global
Multiregional Input Output databases (GMRIO) available. She
probably is the first to develop a good understanding what factors
in GMRIO construction really contribute to uncertainties in carbon
footprint analysis. A great achievement, packed in easy to
understand language!Prof. Arnold Tukker Scientific director CML
Leiden, NL With its thorough investigations and clear explanations
of the differences in MRIO databases and outcomes, this book is
compulsory reading for both skilled practitioners and scholars when
starting any input-output analysis in a multiregional context. Dr.
Harry C. Wilting Senior researcher, environment and economics PBL
Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, NL A novel exposition
on understanding some of the biggest datasets underpinning current
global sustainability assessments. Dr. Owen straddles technical
incision with practitioner relevant insights and includes a range
of methodological advances that will ensure the continued relevance
of this work for many years to come. Prof. Richard Wood Industrial
