Computing GHG Emissions (MATLAB Open Code)

Fabio Monsalve, member of the GEAR Group, has published a, open MATLAB code allowing the computation of the Green House Gas (GHG) Emissions (Co2 equivalent) according to the Environmentally Extended Mutiregional Input-Output Methodology (EEMRIO) and realying on World Input Output Database (WIOD).

CODE DOWNLOAD LINKS:

In this code, the emissions, attributed to a bill of Final Demand, are allocated to countries/regions(41) and sectors (35). To run the model, it is necessary to download the following files from WIOD site:

The files should be uncompressed (if necessary) and saved in the same folder where the code is (saving in another folder will require changes in the set path preferences of Matlab).

Fabio hopes you find this code useful for your Multiregional Input-Output analysis!!

The 7th Conference of Input-Output Analysis to be held in Mérida, Yucatán, México, birthplace of the great Mayan culture. This culture actually shines thanks to the descendants who inhabit the region and who carry out productive activities that require an okol (input) as well as a Jóok’ol(output or product), according the Mayan language. Initially these villages exchange the processed products and others were transported to other markets thanks to the white roads (sak béoob). With the arrival of the Spaniards, there were changes in those societies but did not prevent the commercial flows subsist.

The key dates are:

  • Abstract submission – May 22, 2017
  • Notification of acceptance – June 02, 2017
  • Full paper submission – July 24, 2017
