“…Multiregion input–output models (MRIOs) have been widely recognized as good assessment tools that can track the supply chain and capture regional homogeneity as well as heterogeneity, thus accurately reflecting environmental and socioeconomic implications (Bachmann, Roorda, & Kennedy, ; Dietzenbacher, Lenzen, et al., ; Miller & Blair, ; Wang, ). Over the recent decade, many efforts have been made to develop MRIO databases at international level: EORA (Lenzen, Kanemoto, Moran, & Geschke, ; Lenzen, Moran, Kanemoto, & Geschke, ), WIOD (Dietzenbacher, Los, et al., ), GTAP‐MRIOT (Peters, Andrew, & Lennox, ), and Asian International Input–Output Table produced by IDE‐JETRO (Meng, Zhang, & Inomata, ); or the national level such as China (Liu, Li, Liu, Tang, & Guan, ; Mi et al., ; Zhang, Shi, & Zhao, ), the UK (Yu, Hubacek, Feng, & Guan, ), Japan (Nakano & Nishimura, ; Yamada, ), and Australia (Lenzen et al., ). Although these databases have helped gain a comprehensive understanding of regional disparities and spillover effects in interregional and international trade, none of current MRIOs (national or provincial) offer insights in assessment at the local scale, particularly at the city level.…”
