“…In another words, it does not induce and enable economic growth by IOA. Moreover, two sectors such as Chemical and Petrochemical Industries and Basic Metals were found as key sectors in SA's economy in 1995, 2000. In 2005and 2010, only Chemical and Petrochemical Industries was the most important sector in SA.…”

“…They barely investigated the environmental impacts related to the interdependency of those sectors. For example, Stilwell et al (2000) applied input-output methods to investigate the impacts of gold, coal, and other mining activities upon the South African economy during the period 1971-1993. The results pointed out that the linkages between mining and the rest of the economy were insufficient.…”

This paper analyzed the energy consumption and CO 2 emission from 18 industrial sectors, and also evaluated the direct and indirect energy consumption and CO 2 emission of changes in the final demand of South Africa's (SA) economy. To accomplish this goal, the input-output linkage and multiplier methods have been applied to investigate the interconnectedness of the 18 sectors' input-output tables for the years 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2012, and to measure their total impact of energy commodity input coefficients and CO 2 emissions output coefficients for the year 2012. Results revealed that the electricity sector has a weak linkage with others sectors, which means it is mostly independent of other sectors. In another words, it does not induce and enable economic growth. Moreover, two sectors, such as Chemical and Petrochemical Industries and Basic Metals, were found as key sectors in SA's economy in 1995, 2000 and 2012. In 2005 and 2010, only Chemical and Petrochemical Industries was the most important sector in SA. Additionally, Commercial and Public Services was the strongest forward linkage sector in SA. Our findings also showed that the electricity sector was the main direct monetary energy consumer and CO 2 emitter, and therefore the most dominant source in terms of energy and CO 2 intensities among all the 18 sectors in SA. Furthermore, our investigation of the direct and indirect effects on energy consumption and CO 2 emissions indicated that both total of direct energy consumption and CO 2 emissions were higher than both total indirect energy consumption and CO 2 emissions. Finally, some potential suggestions on reducing the energy consumption and CO 2 emissions deduced from this study are discussed.

“…Environment-related applications energy [24] applied input-output to analyse demand and consumption of energy water [29,30] studied the reallocation of water and its effects on the other sectors if one sector changes its consumption mining [31,32] explored the application of input-output models in mining industries. Specifically, it estimates the impact of increased mining activity emissions [33] applied input-output to analyse the corresponding emission in fulfilling the final demand Materials flow [23,34] used input-output to trace the flow of materials from the formation of say, metal until it is being used Economic-related applications [35] applied input-output to analyse how a congested port affects the whole economy Services [36] used input-output analysis in determining the required time a library personnel must accomplish his task upon servicing the library users and upon doing his other library duties mary of the applications of IO.…”

Accepted: 19 February 2016 This paper proposes a methodology in identifying key production processes in an interdependent production system. Previous approaches on this domain have drawbacks that may potentially affect the reliability of decision-making. The proposed approach adopts the Leontief input-output model (L-IOM) which was proven successful in analyzing interdependent economic systems. The motivation behind such adoption lies in the strength of L-IOM in providing a rigorous quantitative framework in identifying key components of interdependent systems. In this proposed approach, the consumption and production flows of each process are represented respectively by the material inventory produced by the prior process and the material inventory produced by the current process, both in monetary values. A case study in a furniture production system located in central Philippines was carried out to elucidate the proposed approach. Results of the case were reported in this work.

“…Similar methods have also been applied in the identification of key sectors within developed economies (Dietzenbacher 1992;Lenzen 2003;Los 2004;Robles Teigeiro and Sanjuán Solís 2005;Hanly 2012). More recently key-linkage analysis has been used to study the linkage effects of specific sectors within national economies such as construction, manufacturing, and the marine sector (Stilwell et al 2000;Alcántara and Padilla 2003;Song et al 2006;Morrissey and O'Donoghue 2013).…”

Exploring Vulnerability and Interdependency of UK Infrastructure Using Key-Linkages Analysis

It has been argued the UK has experienced significant underinvestment in critical infrastructure over the last two decades. This in turn has resulted in infrastructure that is less capable of assisting the UK economy to grow. This article seeks to undertake an in-depth analysis of the inter-linkages and economic contributions from infrastructure within the UK. It explores the relationship between nine infrastructure sectors and how these sectors contribute to the rest of the UK economy using keylinkage analysis. Each infrastructure sector is shown to be unique in the way it interacts with other economic sectors and in the form of contribution it makes to the economy overall. Infrastructure is found to be a necessary and important part of economic development. The analysis finds that over the last 23 years there has been a decline in the relative economic contribution from infrastructure to UK GVA. Only two infrastructure sectors increased their relative contribution to GVA since 1992. These were the water transport sector and sewerage and sanitary services sector. Railway transport and gas distribution have had the largest relative decline in contribution towards UK GVA with relative contributions decreasing by over 50 % since 1992. The three most important infrastructure sectors contributing to UK GDP are land transport, electricity production and distribution and telecommunications respectively.
