Abstract
The report analyses the potential use for policy support of environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) tables and models, and how such tables can be produced for the EU. The report starts with an overview of the input-output tables and environmental extensions available in Europe today and then sketches the principal application areas in modelling and policy analysis. They include identifying the main sources of environmental problems within the economic system, ex-ante impact assessment of environment-relevant policies, as well as informing policy-making at the strategic level about trends in the environmental performance of the economy and their drivers. The report then translates the analytical requirement of such applications into technical specifications for the environmentally extended input-output tables. Finally, it produces a number of alternative roadmaps of how to produce such tables for Europe: an ambitious "royal route" which, in the long term, would lead to a data situation that serves the analytical requirements in an ideal manner, and two "realistic" options to achieve a reasonably good data situation within a few years.
