Building eora: a global multi-region input–output database at high country and sector resolution
TLDR
The results from a project aimed at creating an MRIO account that represents all countries at a detailed sectoral level, allows continuous updating, provides information on data reliability, contains table sheets expressed in basic prices as well as all margins and taxes, and contains a historical time series are described.Abstract:
There are a number of initiatives aimed at compiling large-scale global multi-region input–output (MRIO) tables complemented with non-monetary information such as on resource flows and environmental burdens. Depending on purpose or application, MRIO construction and usage has been hampered by a lack of geographical and sectoral detail; at the time of writing, the most advanced initiatives opt for a breakdown into at most 129 regions and 120 sectors. Not all existing global MRIO frameworks feature continuous time series, margins and tax sheets, and information on reliability and uncertainty. Despite these potential limitations, constructing a large MRIO requires significant manual labour and many years of time. This paper describes the results from a project aimed at creating an MRIO account that represents all countries at a detailed sectoral level, allows continuous updating, provides information on data reliability, contains table sheets expressed in basic prices as well as all margins and taxes, and co...read more

An Illustrated User Guide to the World Input-Output Database : the Case of Global Automotive Production
TL;DR: The World Input-Output Database (WIOD) as mentioned in this paper contains annual time-series of world input-output tables and factor requirements covering the period from 1995 to 2011, and illustrates its usefulness by analyzing the geographical and factorial distribution of value added in global automotive production.

TL;DR: The most comprehensive and most highly resolved economic input–output framework of the world economy together with a detailed database of global material flows are used to calculate the full material requirements of all countries covering a period of two decades and demonstrate that countries’ use of nondomestic resources is about threefold larger than the physical quantity of traded goods.

A good life for all within planetary boundaries
TL;DR: Using indicators designed to measure a safe and just development space, the authors quantify the resource use associated with meeting basic human needs, and compare this to downscaled planetary boundaries for over 150 nations, finding that no country meets basic needs for its citizens at a globally sustainable level of resource use.

The construction of world input-output tables in the wiod project
TL;DR: The World Input-Output Table (WIOT) as mentioned in this paper is the core of the World Input Output Database (WEBDB) and provides the values of transactions among 35 industries in 40 countries plus the rest of the world and from these industries to households, governments and users of capital goods in the same set of countries.

Growth in emission transfers via international trade from 1990 to 2008
TL;DR: A trade-linked global database for CO2 emissions covering 113 countries and 57 economic sectors from 1990 to 2008 indicates that international trade is a significant factor in explaining the change in emissions in many countries, from both a production and consumption perspective.
