dc.description.abstract |
The complexity of the connexions within an economic system can only be reliably
reflected in academic research if powerful methods are used. Researchers have used
Structural Path Analysis (SPA) to capture not only the linkages within the production
system but also the propagation of the effects into different channels of impacts.
However, the SPA literature has restricted itself to showing the relations among sectors
of production, while the connections between these sectors and final consumption have
attracted little attention. In order to consider the complete set of channels involved, in
this paper we propose a structural path method that endogenously incorporates not only
sectors of production but also the final consumption of the economy. The empirical
application comprises water usages, and analyses the dissemination of exogenous
impacts into various channels of water consumption. The results show that the
responsibility for water stress is imputed to different sectors and depends on the
hypothesis used for the role played by final consumption in the model. This highlights
the importance of consumers’ decisions in the determination of ecological impacts.
Keywords: Input-Output Analysis, Structural Path Analysis, Final Consumption, Water uses. |
