Author(s):  
Đức Thị Việt Đặng

This article uses Input-output (IO) analysis to evaluate the impact of ICT on the Vietnamese economy. Two IO tables are used, including tables of 2007 and 2012. The results show that ICT sectors were small in Vietnamese economy and the spending on ICT products and services of an average sector of the economy was generally low. Regarding the impact on output of other sectors, the research results reveal that the ICT sectors' backward linkages were stronger than the forward linkages, i.e. the ICT generated more impact on sectors which provided it input rather than on sectors that used its products and services. The total output multiplying effect of the ICT was rather high; ICT was among the most influential sectors in Vietnamese economy. Among ICT sectors, the ICT manufacturing was the most pervasive which is followed by the ICT services and ICT media and content. The study implies that if Vietnam seeks to enhance the economy, the government needs to implement specific policies that facilitate ICT industry and ICT usage.

The ultimate aim of this research is to provide an analysis of the impact multipliers on the Malaysian economy for 12 NKEA sectors. Economic activity is a complicated web of interdependent behaviour. A change in any part of the economy leads to changes elsewhere. Consequently, the estimation of the ultimate total impact of a change in the NKEA requires the measurement of the changes that occur elsewhere in the economy. The technique available to obtain these measurements is called input-output (I-O) analysis. I-O analysis is concerned with studying the interdependence of the producing and the consuming units in the modern economy. Our computation of complete I-O multipliers includes total output, income, employment, value-added, imported commodity, domestic taxes and imported taxes multipliers for the NKEA. Among the NKEA sectors, the palm oil, tourism, education, healthcare and other sectors have great potential for further development and are expected to give a high impact on the Malaysian economy. If the government wishes to boost the Malaysian economy for growth, these are the appropriate sectors for development.   Keywords: NKEA, input-output analysis, multiplier impact.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyse sectoral interdependencies and to identify the key sectors in the Romanian, Hungarian and Slovak economy, drawing a comparison between these three countries. In order to do these investigations, input-output analysis is applied, as it is based on a model which presents interactions between sectors of the economy. This method can also be used for determining the role of each sector in the national economy regarding its contribution to the total output, incomes, exportimport and so on, and for quantifying direct and indirect impact on the whole economy caused by any change produced in a sector’s activity. As the results of the analyses show, several similarities and differences appear in the economic structure, the sectoral interdependencies and the key sectors of the analysed countries. For example, in Romania, intersectoral transactions are axing mainly on the Trade and Manufacturing sectors, while in Hungary and Slovakia on the Manufacturing and Other professional, scientific and technical services sectors. Key sectors - identified by applying output and income backward linkages - also differ as in Romania the output backward linkage is the largest in the case of the Trade sector, in Hungary, in the Food sector and in Slovakia in the Electricity, gas, water and waste management sector. In the case of the income linkages, Social, collective and personal services rank in the first place in all three countries

Petroleum industry has made tremendous contribution on the government tax revenues of China. A model is established to analyze petroleum industry’s impacts on government tax revenues of China in this study based on the Input-Output approach. Petroleum industry’s impacts on government tax revenues are divided into direct, indirect and induced impacts. The research results suggest that the total impacts of extraction of petroleum and processing of petroleum on government tax revenues in 2007 are 176.6 billion CNY and 404.0 billion CNY respectively; extraction of petroleum has more direct impacts on government tax revenues given one unit output added, processing of petroleum has more indirect and induced impacts.

This study aims to: (1) analyze the role the hotel and restaurant sector to the economy in the formation of the structure of demand and the structure of supply, consumption structure, the structure of exports and imports, the structure of gross added value, (2) determine the magnitude of forward linkages and belakanh linkage to the hotel and restaurant sector, (3) determine the coefficient of deployment and dissemination sensitivity hotel and restaurant sector, (4) determine the magnitude of the multiplier effect (multiplier effect). The result shows that : (1) The contribution of hotels and restaurants output ranks last of the ten sectors, (2) Analysis of the relationship indicates that the hotel and restaurant sector have backward linkages ,(3) Analysis of the impact of the deployment where the deployment impact on the spread of and sensitivity to the coefficient of deployment, (4) The sector of hotels and restaurants have the value of the multiplier is relatively high, especially for the multiplier output and income multiplier.Keyword : hotel and restaurant, input output analysis

Abstract This study analyses the embodied carbon in the trade flows between Poland and Germany. The calculations are based on data from Eurostat and OECD for 2008. The study uses input-output analysis, which allows the assignment of responsibility to individual flows for generating specific amounts of emissions in the economy. It demonstrates that Polish exports to Germany contain significantly more embodied carbon than do imports from Germany, despite the fact that the value of imports is higher. Moreover, it is found that Polish-German trade flows were responsible for more CO2 emissions that Lithuania and Latvia emitted together in 2008.

Abstract Purpose Trade is increasingly considered a significant contributor to environmental impacts. The assessment of the impacts of trade is usually performed via environmentally extended input–output analysis (EEIOA). However, process-based life cycle assessment (LCA) applied to traded goods allows increasing the granularity of the analysis and may be essential to unveil specific impacts due to traded products. Methods This study assesses the environmental impacts of the European trade, considering two modelling approaches: respectively EEIOA, using EXIOBASE 3 as supporting database, and process-based LCA. The interpretation of the results is pivotal to improve the robustness of the assessment and the identification of hotspots. The hotspot identification focuses on temporal trends and on the contribution of products and substances to the overall impacts. The inventories of elementary flows associated with EU trade, for the period 2000–2010, have been characterized considering 14 impact categories according to the Environmental Footprint (EF2017) Life Cycle Impact Assessment method. Results and discussion The two modelling approaches converge in highlighting that in the period 2000–2010: (i) EU was a net importer of environmental impacts; (ii) impacts of EU trade and EU trade balance (impacts of imports minus impacts of exports) were increasing over time, regarding most impact categories under study; and (iii) similar manufactured products were the main contributors to the impacts of exports from EU, regarding most impact categories. However, some results are discrepant: (i) larger impacts are obtained from IO analysis than from process-based LCA, regarding most impact categories, (ii) a different set of most contributing products is identified by the two approaches in the case of imports, and (iii) large differences in the contributions of substances are observed regarding resource use, toxicity, and ecotoxicity indicators. Conclusions The interpretation step is crucial to unveil the main hotspots, encompassing a comparison of the differences between the two methodologies, the assumptions, the data coverage and sources, the completeness of inventory as basis for impact assessment. The main driver for the observed divergences is identified to be the differences in the impact intensities of goods, both induced by inherent properties of the IO and life cycle inventory databases and by some of this study’s modelling choices. The combination of IO analysis and process-based LCA in a hybrid framework, as performed in other studies but generally not at the macro-scale of the full trade of a country or region, appears a potential important perspective to refine such an assessment in the future.
