The socioeconomic and environmental footprint of the final demand in Italy: A supply-use table approach of assessment

  • Caterina Marini

This paper is focused on the socioeconomic and environmental impact that the household consumption categories have in Italy. It is well known that household consumption is one of the most important factors that affects the environmental stability and the economic decisional process of all the advanced economy countries. And, in the last decade, it is recognised that the production activity for household consumption, both commodities and services, is environmentally unsustainable. In literature, many studies differently investigate some categories of consumption and their sustainability, and not few studies based their research on a variety of scientific perspectives that highlight many aspects of the ecological footprint of consumption. Some of these works yield their findings through the application of the Symmetric Input-Output matrices. Our work is a first attempt to develop a unique social, economic and environmental model for the analysis of the Italian household consumption that embraces all categories of consumption. Furthermore, we accomplish our research goal through the utilisation of the Supply-Use Tables (SUT) merged with the social, economic and environmental matrices, as published by the Italian National Institute of Statistics, and the Economic Input-Output model. In literature, the SUT use is new in the analysis of the socioeconomic footprint of household consumption. The results in terms of socioeconomic and environmental impacts we yielded are developed for all economic sectors. The direct and indirect effects of each sector on the others are also investigated. Outcomes highlight important correlations among the economic sectors in the analysis of the ecological footprint of consumption in terms of the polluting emissions of the commodities and services supply chain and some socioeconomic key indicators.
