Abstract
Abstract
This paper introduces a novel approach to simultaneously estimate total (direct and indirect) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions linkages and leakages by employing both the Leontief demand-driven and Ghosh supply-driven input-output (I-O) models. Using the Greek economy as a case study the paper contributes to the research field of environmental interindustry linkage analysis by evaluating the impact of international trade on the carbon footprint of national economies. The analysis identifies industries with significant emissions linkages and leakages, highlighting the potential for domestic input substitution as a means to reduce GHG emissions. This approach offers valuable insights for the formulation of targeted mitigation policies, contributing to the pursuit of sustainable development goals.
