CO2 emissions induced by EU's final use of products are estimated to be 9 tonnes per capita


A typical macro-economic question answered by input-output modelling is: how many jobs depend on exports? Labour is an important production factor input into branches. It is also a significant element of GDP, i.e. value added. The SUIOT data set shows that compensation of employees (i.e. salaries) form more than half (57%) of the total value added (see Table 3). Hence, it is interesting to analyse for which products the demand (or final use) creates most jobs and income. Figure 2 shows the top 14
products the final use of which creates most jobs and income. Public services (including health and social) "embodies" more than one fifth of total jobs (expressed as compensation of employees). Another important creator of jobs is investment in construction (about 10% of total salaries). Using the new SUIOT data and a Leontief model, one can estimate that the exports of products outside the EU count for about 11% of job-related income.
