Abstract

We quantify direct and indirect emissions resulting from Czech household consumption contributing to climate change, acidification and smog formation. We develop a hybrid environmentally extended input–output model that links the single-region input–output analysis on domestic processes with a multiregional input–output analysis to derive the indirect emissions associated with imports and part of the domestic production. We apply Almon's algorithm to transform the domestic emissions from industries to product groups. The indirect and direct emission intensities of more than hundred consumption items are then linked to expenditures of almost 3000 individual households to compute the total emissions for each household.
