“…Links between employment in the RE sector and welfare impacts (multiplier effects) have been studied by [32] and rigorously reviewed by [33], pointing out that due to strong expected growth of the renewable energy sector, potential welfare impacts should be more wisely planned and managed. On the other hand, direct employment effects of the RE sector have been studied for various countries, including Germany [20] [34] and [35], Japan [36] and Jordan [37], indicating significant impacts of the RE sector on domestic labour markets.…”

“…This is the most widely utilized approach for the analysis of macro-economic effects of major new expenditures, as is the case for investments driven by climate policies (e.g. Allan et al, 2008;Caldés, Varela, Santamaría, & Sáez, 2009;Hienuki, Kudoh, & Hondo, 2015;Markaki, Belegri-Roboli, Michaelides, Mirasgedis, & Lalas, 2013;Neuwahl, Löschel, Mongelli, & Delgado, 2008;Oliveira, Coelho, da Silva, & Antunes, 2013;Scott, Roop, Schultz, Anderson, & Cort, 2008;Tourkolias & Mirasgedis, 2011).…”

In the framework of recent international climate negotiations, industrialised countries have committed to transfer at least USD 100 billion per year to developing countries from 2020. Climate finance has become the subject of an already extensive literature. However, the economic impact of the disbursement of climate finance and the role of international trade in its distribution globally have not been studied yet. This paper specifically estimates the geographical distribution of economic benefits for 17 mitigation and 9 adaptation options. We use a Global Multi-Regional Input-Output framework to track both domestic as well as spill-over effects of climate finance disbursements. The relevance of spill-overs is confirmed: on average, 29% of the economic benefits of climate actions flow to countries different from the recipient country (i.e. to the donors and third countries). But this percentage varies widely, between 11 and 61 % depending on the type of climate action implemented as well as the recipient country. The findings are expected to be of interest for both recipient and donor countries as they provide guidance on how to maximize the economic co-benefits of climate finance.

“…and final demand f i , are estimated from data obtained by interviews, previous studies and statistics [21,22,26,43,44]. The Japanese 2005 IO table is used for the calculations, hence it is assumed that the future industry structure remains the same as that of 2005 and all costs are adjusted to 2005 prices using the GDP deflator [45].…”

“…Ciorba et al [19] and Lehr et al [20] used this method to evaluate the impact on the Moroccan and German labor markets, respectively, of the introduction of renewable energy technologies. The current authors [21,22] have previously calculated the life cycle employment intensity of renewable energy technologies using an extended IO table by disaggregating the sectors related to renewable energy from the original Japanese 2005 IO table. The third category applies a so-called hybrid method of bottom-up and IO approaches to life cycle inventory analysis, to which the characteristics of the target technology can be reflected. From an employment analysis perspective, this category estimates the specific technology's direct employment from interviews and statistics, while the indirect impacts are calculated using an IO table.…”

Input-output (IO) analysis is a useful economic method to evaluate the potential socio-economic and environmental impacts associated both directly and indirectly with energy technologies. Using an IO table, this study establishes a scenario analysis framework to evaluate the socio-economic and environmental impacts arising from future power generation technology mixes. The impact indices selected are employment generation and greenhouse gas emissions. The study adopts a hybrid method for the framework it establishes: a combined bottom-up and IO life cycle inventory analysis approach to reflect the technological differences by power generation technology. Using an IO table for future analysis is limited because the industrial structure is fixed to the IO table benchmark year and it is thus not possible to reflect any potential inter-sector transaction changes that may arise from technological progress. However, the framework is valuable in estimating the future potential impacts that might arise from the current industrial structure and technology level. A case study is conducted using the established framework on the potential impacts of Japan's future grid mix scenarios. The case study considers the differences in lead-times and durable years per power generation technology to ascertain the continuous and temporary jobs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
