This book presents extensions to current commodity-flow models to
analyze the economic and environmental impacts of recent structural
changes, such as fragmentation of production and lengthening supply
chains. The extensions enable augmented commodity-flow models to
analyze the vulnerability of supply chains and regions to climate
change and extreme weather events. The models allow the explicit
treatment of trade in intermediate goods; the so-called "new
economic geography" behavioral foundations for production and
inter-industry and interregional trade; endogenous determination of
capital investment and employment; and changes in emissions
associated with production, consumption and freight movement.
Presenting a modeling framework and simulations that are based on a
thirty-year, spatial time-series of inter-industry and interstate
trade in the US, this unique book is a valuable resource for
regional scientists, economic geographers and transportation
modelers, as well as environmental and atmospheric scientists.
