NEW PUBLICATION IN ENERGY ECONOMICS

The GEAR members Luis Antonio López (UCLM) and Guadalupe Arce (Complutense University), in collaboration with Xuemei Jiang (Capital University of Economics and Business of Beijing), have recently published “Mapping China’s flows of emissions in the world’s carbon footprint: A network approach of production layers” in Energy Economics. 

In this paper the authors propose a combination of the environmental extended Multiregional Input-Output Model (EE-MRIO), applying a Structural Path Analysis, with the complex network analysis to adequately identify different types of communities or clusters of sector as boost and suppliers of carbon emissions by type of sector (processing exports, non-processing exports and China normal production), type of final demand (consumption and investment) and the different stages of production. 

This approach is an important novelty in the input-output literature because, in our opinion, the research is useful to assess the scope of possibilities that companies of different sectors have regarding reducing their carbon footprint and the limit implied for the transmission of technology between companies in the same sector or companies that relocate their production to China.

We hope you enjoy it!

NEW PUBLICATION IN PLOS ONE

Some members of the GEAR Group have recently published a new research article in PLOS ONE.

The paper, entitled “Unmasking social distant damage of developed regions’ lifestyle: A decoupling analysis of the indecent labour footprint” presents news insights about the indecent labour footprints. Using the indecent labour database developed by Ángela García-Alaminos to assess the indecent labour footprint, we propose a decoupling analysis to evaluate whether global consumption chains are currently on the decoupling path or not, from a social point of view.

The paper has been written by Ángela García-Alaminos, Fabio Monsalve, Jorge Zafrilla and María Ángeles Cadarso.
