| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is the analysis of the Catalan economy (2001) with the
use of a National Accounting Matrix with environmental accounts (NAMEA) for the
Catalan economy with 2001 data. We will focus on the analysis of the emission
multipliers and we will also analyse the impact of a 10% reduction in greenhouse
emissions on emission multipliers. This emission-reduction percentage would bring the
Catalan economy into compliance with the maximum emissions level allowed by the
Kyoto Protocol. We consider three possible scenarios that would allow this goal to be
met. First, we will simulate a 10% reduction in regional emissions and a 5% drop in the
endogenous income of the multipliers’ model (production, factorial and private
income). Second, we will simulate a 10% reduction in emissions and a 10% increase in
endogenous income. Finally, we will simulate a 10% reduction in emissions and a 5%
increase in endogenous income. Additionally, we will analyse the decomposition of the
emission multipliers into own effects, open effects and circular effects to capture the
different channels of the emission generation process.
