“…Despite its importance, little work has been done to analyse the potential of the bioeconomy sectors due to the lack of suitable databases and methodologies. Although different studies have measured the size of the bioeconomy by calculating the biobased shares of the sectors involved (Efken et al, 2016 ; Ronzon & M’Barek, 2018 ; Ronzon et al, 2022 ; Vandermeulen et al, 2011 ), or using econometric models (Lochhead et al, 2016 ), the influence of the analysis with multisectoral models, for the analysis of economic, social and/or environmental variables, is clear, for example for Netherlands (Heijman, 2016 ), Poland (Loizou et al, 2019 ), Finland (Lehtonen & Okkonen, 2013 ), Brazil (Maia & Bozelli, 2022 ), the EU and member states (Ferreira et al, 2020 , 2021 ; Mainar-Causapé, 2019 ; Philippidis & Sanjuán, 2018 ). To this end, the Input–Output tables, and the Social Accounting Matrices (SAM) stand out as databases.…”
