From 15 to 17 May 2023 the European Parliament is hosting a conference on the topic 'Beyond Growth'. This study introduces participants and other stakeholders and interested parties to the debate on going beyond growth. Organised in two parts, the study first presents the status quo, with our reliance on economic growth as the main policy driver an...

Este trabajo propone dos nuevos indicadores para monitorizar la integración de Andalucía en las cadenas de valor globales basadas en la metodología de la OCDE: las tablas input-output multipaís de Eurostat (FIGARO) y las tablas input-output de Andalucía publicadas por el IECA. Los resultados indican claramente que, tanto en términos de empleo como...

Our paper provides new insights into the gender specific dimension of extra-EU exports. In 2019, the employment of more than 14 million women depended on EU exports to the world. The female share of exports related jobs however stood at only 38%, almost unchanged from its previous level in 2010. While exploring the drivers behind this gender specif...

This report provides an update of the macro-model simulations of the impact of the competition policy interventions of the European Commission over the period 2012-2020.

The Trade Policy Review also specifies areas and actions that are critical to achieving the EU’s objectives in the medium term. One of the headline actions is to support an informed discussion on trade policy by inter-alia conducting analytical work on the impact of trade policies on employment. Against this background, DG TRADE and the European Co...

Out analysis shows that in 2019 extra-EU exports of goods and services are more important for employment than ever supporting 38 million jobs in the EU. This corresponds to an increase of 11 million jobs in one decade. On average, each billion euro of EU exports to third countries supported about 12,000 jobs in the EU. European workers from all Mem...

We present a multidimensional generalization of the GRAS method (nD‐GRAS) for the estimation of multiple matrices in an integrated framework. The potential applications of this method in regional and multi‐regional input‐output analyses based on national/regional accounts frameworks are many. We provide two real applications, a 3D‐GRAS that estimat...

La pandemia de la COVID-19 está teniendo un impacto sin precedentes en la economía europea. En este artículo vamos a analizar las últimas cifras publicadas por Eurostat para 2020 y el último informe de proyección económica publicado por la Comisión Europea, proporcionando además una descripción más detallada del impacto de la pandemia por sectores....

The main objective of this paper is to revisit Temursho’s (2020) article “On the Euro method” in a critical and constructive way. We have praised part of his work and at the same time, we have analysed some of his arguments against the Euro method and against the work published by Valderas-Jaramillo et al. (2019). Moreover, we have analysed some ot...

This study conducts a number of model simulations aimed at assessing the macroeconomic impact of competition policy interventions by the European Commission over the period 2012-E2019.

We develop in this paper a multidimensional generalization of the GRAS method (nD-GRAS). This generalization allows the estimation of multiple tables at once in an integrated framework which adds consistency to the final results. We provide the analytical closed-form solution and RAS-like algorithm for its operationalisation with low IT requirement...

There are increasing numbers of published articles in the field of input–output analysis and modelling that use the GTAP input–output database; particularly, in relation to the estimation of carbon, energy and water footprints and the analysis of global value chains and international trade. The policy relevance of those topics is also increasing, t...

Production processes are nowadays increasingly global, implying interdependent structures linking goods, processes and countries. Traditional economic blocks and sectoral intra-country linkages coexist with increasing worldwide dependencies. Recent literature supports the hypothesis of a new globalization process taking place in the late 1990s and...

Testing the relationship between economic performance and energy consumption is of utmost importance in nearly all countries. Taking the European Union as scope, this paper analyses the impacts of energy efficiency legislation on a selection of household appliances. In particular, it analyses the employment and value added impacts of the stricter e...

Every change in the product and/or industry classifications and/or methodology of supply, use and input–output tables makes any medium- to long-term policy analysis impossible unless appropriate conversions are provided by national statistical institutes using more detailed data. However, can these tables be reasonably converted to a different clas...

This analysis sheds new insights on the gender-balance of the employment opportunities supported by extra-EU exports. It shows that in 2017 more than 13 million female workers in the EU had jobs thanks to the exports of goods and services to the rest of the world. However, there is a gender gap when it comes to the employment prospects offered by e...

The Eurostat-JRC project ‘Full International and Global Accounts for Research in Input-Output Analysis’ (FIGARO) has produced experimental EU inter-country supply, use and input-output tables for the year 2010 in line with ESA 2010 methodology. This paper uses FIGARO tables to analyse the employment content of EU Member States exports. This appl...

China’s largest competitive gains vis-à-vis the EU are made in high-tech sectors related to computers and electronics, and electrical and mechanical engineering. China has become a competitor in fast growing high-tech sectors to reduce its reliance on foreign based technologies Sectoral analyses also show a rapid improvement in China’s competitiven...

Jointly with the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, Eurostat has developed a methodology for the construction of the EU inter-country supply, use and input-output tables by reusing available data, preparing the way for regular data production and dissemination. This work has been done in cooperation with international agencies such as the...

Résumé Dans l'UE, l'emploi lié aux exportations extracommunautaires de biens et de services a augmenté sensiblement ces dernières décennies, et la contribution à cet emploi des services incorporés dans des articles manufacturés s'est élevée. Pour mieux comprendre le phénomène, les auteurs procèdent à une décomposition systématique des flux commerci...

Resumen En las dos últimas décadas, el empleo sostenido por las exportaciones extracomunitarias de bienes y servicios ha crecido considerablemente en la UE, con un giro hacia el empleo sostenido por los servicios exportados como parte de productos manufacturados. Para estudiar este fenómeno, los autores descomponen totalmente los flujos comerciales...

FIDELIO (Fully Interregional Dynamic Econometric Long-term Input-Output) is a multi-sectoral model developed by the unit B.5 of the Directorate General Joint Research Centre (JRC) — the circular economy and industrial leadership unit. Compared to neoclassical CGE models — which assume that the perfect flexibility of prices and quantities ensures th...

China is rapidly becoming a major industrial competitor in high-tech and growth sectors. It aims, through the 'Made in China 2025' strategy, to become a world leader in ten key emerging industrial sectors. In these sectors, it strives to strengthen its domestic innovation capacity, to reduce its reliance on foreign technologies while moving up in g...

We have introduced in this paper new variants of two methods for projecting Supply and Use Tables that are based on a distance minimisation approach (SUT-RAS) and the Leontief model (SUT-EURO). We have also compared them under similar and comparable exogenous information, i.e.: with and without exogenous industry output, and with explicit considera...

In applications, it is often necessary to link heavily aggregated macroeconomic datasets adhering to different statistical classifications. We propose a simple data reclassification procedure for those cases in which a bridge matrix grounded in microdata is not available. The essential requirement of our approach, which we refer to as count-seed RA...

Over the last two decades the EU employment supported by exports to the rest of the world has increased markedly and more and more of these jobs are in the production of services inputs to manufactured goods. In this paper, we provide evidence suggesting that this servicification phenomenon may have contributed to sustain the EU manufacturing emplo...

Utilizando las tablas insumo-producto de la OCDE, distribuidas en tres periodos de tiempo: próximas a los años 1995, 2000 y 2005, se establece como objetivo analizar la evolución de las estructuras de dichas economías y de sus sectores, así como comprobar si existen semejanzas estructurales entre ellas en función de su producto interior bruto (PIB)...

The Handbook on Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables with Extensions and Applications is an update of the Handbook of National Accounting: Handbook of Input-Output Table Compilation and Analysis (United Nations, 1999) (available here https://unstats.un.org/unsd/publication/SeriesF/SeriesF_74E.pdf) to incorporate the changes in the international stan...

This paper has two complementary objectives: on the one hand, it introduces the EURO method for the estimation of (regional) Social Accounting Matrices. This method is widely used by Eurostat for the estimation of missing national Supply, Use and Input-output tables but it has not been used before within the context of social accounting matrices or...

Input–Output modellers are often faced with the task of estimating missing Use tables at basic prices and also valuation matrices of the individual countries. This paper examines a selection of estimation methods applied to the European context where the analysts are not in possession of superior data. The estimation methods are restricted to the u...

It is not easy to transform the input and output tables '‘produced’’ by statistical offices into matrices of input-output coefficients. There are commodity-by-commodity and industry-by-industry input-output matrices and each of them can be constructed using different models. This chapter provides a unifying framework for all these alternatives and...

This paper describes the joint project between Eurostat and the European Commission’s DG Joint Research Centre, which aims to establish an annual production of European Union (EU) Inter-country Input-Output Tables and a five-yearly production of EU Inter-country Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables (EU-ICSUIOTs). The EU-ICSUIOTs constitute a further...

Services account for an overwhelming share of overall economic activities and are increasingly delivered across borders under various modes of supply. Given their growing importance for trade negotiators, the availability of statistics on the international supply of services detailed by services category, mode of supply and partner country is criti...

Higher levels of ozone in the troposphere is a severe threat to both environment and human health. Many countries are concerned about the effects that critical levels of ozone have on them. Countries pollute to satisfy their domestic and external demand (production perspective) and, at the same time, these countries also generate emissions abroad i...

As part of national accounts, input-output tables are becoming crucial statistical tools to study the economic, social and environmental impacts of globalization and international trade. In particular, global input-output tables extend the national dimension to the international dimension by relating individual countries' input-output tables among...

This document presents the results of an empirical analysis carried out in order to estimate total expenditure elasticities for the household consumption module of the FIDELIO model. The estimates are based on survey data for the following six European countries: Austria, France, Italy, Slovakia, Spain, and the UK. The analysis deals with twelve ca...

This paper provides an input-output method to estimate worldwide economic impacts generated by supply chain disruptions. The method is used to analyse global economic effects due to the disruptions in the automotive industry that followed the Japanese earthquake and the consequent tsunami and nuclear crisis of March 2011. By combining a mixed multi...

At the Conference of the Parties held in Copenhagen in 2009 (COP15), the Chinese government announced its 2020 commitment to reduce the carbon intensity of the Chinese economy to 40-45% of its 2005 level. A number of analysts have criticised this target, indicating that these reductions can be achieved without the implementation of any active clima...

This paper develops a method to consolidate national supply-use tables into a single supra-regional SUT. The method deals with mirror trade statistics problems, such as the different valuation of imports and exports, and it corrects for double-counting re-exports. The method is tested by means of a decomposition of value added and CO2 emissions emb...

We explore two different worldwide multi-regional input–output (MRIO) databases (Global Trade Analysis Project-MRIO and World Input–Output Database) for the calculation of the global carbon footprint (CF) of nations. We start our analysis with a description of the main characteristics of the databases and then make a comparison between their main c...

This paper develops a method to consolidate national supply-use tables (SUTs) into a single supra-regional SUT. The method deals with mirror trade statistics problems, such as the different valuation of imports and exports, and it corrects for the double-counting of re-exports. To test the contribution of the various construction steps, the paper d...

This article quantifies for the first time the European employment effects of extra-EU exports and the correct number of jobs generated through the intra-EU trade (single market) associated with the production of such exports. The literature has neglected very often the latter effects mainly due to the lack of an appropriate methodology and data. T...

Product input–output (IO) tables are mainly constructed on the basis of product and/or industry technology assumptions. The choice is not trivial and deserves empirical analysis using input and output data at the level of establishments. This paper offers input–output compilers econometric tests to facilitate the construction of tailored hybrid tec...

Many economic models (e.g., computable general equilibrium models, econometric input–output models) revolve around a matrix of technical coefficients. However, these matrices can be estimated only once every 5 years as long as they are calculated from input–output tables and these are only published on a 5-year basis. Alternatively, use and make (o...

EXIOPOL (A New Environmental Accounting Framework Using Externality Data and Input–Output Tools for Policy Analysis) was a European Union (EU)-funded project creating a detailed, global, multiregional environmentally extended Supply and Use table (MR EE SUT) of 43 countries, 129 sectors, 80 resources, and 40 emissions. We sourced primary SUT and in...

The literature on stochastic input–output (I–O) analysis has paid considerable attention to the bias in the Leontief inverse. This paper extends previous studies by assuming supply and use tables (SUTs rather than I–O tables or input coefficients matrices) to be stochastic. This is a natural starting point because SUTs have become the basic data so...

Following the debate on the implications of international trade for global climate policy, this paper introduces the topic of the economic benefits from trade obtained by exporting countries in relation to the emissions generated in the production of exports. In 2008, 24% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 20% of the employment around the...

Little attention has so far been paid to the problems inherent in interpreting the meaning of results from standard impact analyses using symmetric input-output tables. Impacts as well as drivers of these impacts must be either of the product type or of the industry type. Interestingly, since supply-use tables distinguish products and industries, t...

This note provides an overview of the employment impact of exporting activity in the EU. We find that the exports of goods and services to the rest of the world supported around 25 million jobs in Europe in 2007 (an increase of 3 million since 2000). Two main additional insights stand out from this analysis: the importance of the complementary rela...

The Single Market is a pillar of the European Union (EU) and has been essential in the last twenty-five years for the smooth functioning of Europe's economic and monetary policies. Besides, it is also the heart of a range of EU policies such as the Lisbon Strategy on growth and jobs. Despite these achievements, the Single Market still has untapped...

A considerable agreement exists about the importance of promoting entrepreneurship to stimulate economic development and employment generation. In particular, entrepreneurship education has been considered one of the key instruments to increase the entrepreneurial attitudes of both potential and nascent entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, the factors that...

This paper formalises the so-called Supply-Use Based Econometric (SUBE) approach that allows for the introduction of econometric analysis in the calculation of backward input–output multipliers of the Leontief-type quantity model, using rectangular supply and use tables. The SUBE approach does not require any kind of inverse matrix and incorporates...

Food consumption causes, together with mobility, shelter and the use of electrical products, most life cycle impacts of consumption. Meat and dairy are among the highest contributors to environmental impacts from food consumption. A healthier diet might have less environmental impacts. Using the E3IOT environmentally extended input output database...
