A New Environmental Accounting Framework Using Externality Data and Input-Output Tools for Policy Analysis

EXIOPOL is an integrated project under the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme for research. Its main objectives are:

• To synthesise and develop further estimates of the external costs of key environmental impacts for Europe
• To set up an environmentally extended (EE) Input-Output (I-O) framework in which as many of these estimates as possible are included, allowing the estimation of environmental impacts and external costs of different economic sector activities, final consumption activities and resource consumption for countries in the EU
• To apply the results of the external cost estimates and EE I-O analysis for the analysis of policy questions of importance, as well as for the evaluation of the value and impact of past research on external costs on policy-making in the EU
