Abstract: | In the last few years some studies have been presented, which link land use accounting and input-output analysis (based on monetary input-output tables (MIOTs)) for the calculation of direct and indirect land appropriation of production and consumption activities. The compilation of the first comprehensive physical input-output tables (PIOTs) for some western European countries in the 1990s opened new possibilities for linking physical accounting and input-output analysis. Using a physical multiplier for this kind of calculation is more appropriate, as the most land intensive sectors are also the sectors with the highest amounts of material flows. |
