Abstract

The multi-region input-output (MRIO) approach can provide key information about the life cycle and the distribution of environmental resource. The regional and sectoral information in the MRIO table can be used to analyze the trade flow and the footprints of various environmental factors to identify inequalities in ecological services by demand-based analyses. This paper first reviews the research on international and subnational resource and environmental subjects using the MRIO approach. Chinese MRIO data has been rarely used to study resource-related topics. This study analyzes resource-related research using Chinese MRIO data. Analyses of interregional trade flows and regional material footprints are used to suggest policy initiatives to deal with the resource-related inequalities of ecological services, to improve regional resource use efficiency and to reduce the influence interregional transfers of ecological burdens.

Key words
