Research Abstract

This study developed a global link input-output model (GLIO) model that aims to analyze an environmental burden-based network and a resources consumption-based network which globally and implicitly connect Japan with foreign countries. Using pilot data for 2000 originally compiled for the model, the model quantitatively and structurally analyzed CO_2 emissions in and outside Japan induced by the 2000 Japan's domestic final demand. Focusing on a commodity associated with foods and consumables, the model also calculated the share of CO_2 emission outside Japan in the total CO_2 emission in and outside Japan generated through global supply chains of the commodity.
