“…Our findings are coherent with Alatriste‐Contreras and Fagiolo (), Alatriste‐Contreras () and Luu, Napoletano, Fagiolo, Roventini and Sgrignoli (), which show that each European economy at sectoral level of aggregation is characterised by negatively skewed degree distributions and positively skewed strength distributions. The heavy‐tailed behaviour of the strength distributions means that there is a statistically significant probability that a node has a very large strength compared with the average, that is in the EPN many country sectors have a low strength, whilst only a few have high strength values.…”

“…In particular, most of the values of the out degrees are concentrated on the highest values. Therefore, there are sectors that act as general suppliers delivering inputs to many or all other sectors (Alatriste‐Contreras, shows similar results). The high connectivity of the EPN is also highlighted by the density statistic that represents the proportion of possible relationships in the network that are actually present, and which ranges from 0 to 1, with the lower limit corresponding to networks with no relationships and the upper limit representing networks with all possible relationships.…”

“…For example, the eigenvector method of backward linkages proposed by Dietzenbacher (), which is based on the reasoning that industries with more linkages should be weighted more (Luo, ). This method is similar to the eigenvector centrality long used in network theory and social network analysis, according to which nodes are considered to be central in the network if their connections in the network are themselves well‐connected nodes (see Alatriste‐Contreras, ; García Muñiz, Raya, & Ramos Carvajal, , and Gurgul & Lach, for a discussion on the similitudes between input–output linkage measures and network centrality measures). One drawback of the eigenvector method is that it does not penalise the distant connections (Newman, ).…”

Key sectors in input–output production networks: An application to Brexit

This paper presents the first detailed and holistic description of the European production network (EPN) and provides different rankings of the most "systemically important" industries involved in Brexit. Employing techniques of complex networks analysis and input–output traditional tools, the study identifies those industries that are key in the complex structure of the UK‐EU trade relationships. The method developed would help policymakers to better understand which tariff would have a more distortive impact, which export sector should be pushed, which imports should be safeguarded. Such information may have foremost importance in the negotiations between the UK and EU. Our findings suggest that Brexit would be not just a problem for the UK, as it is often portrayed, but any form of Brexit could propagate affecting the global production system.

“…One of the examples is the OPEC actions that cause energy crisis in 1970-s [11]. Attempts to solve this problem may be traced even on the basis of the transformation of sovereignty definition over natural sources enshrined in international instruments [12]. Thus, one of the first definitions of sovereignty over natural sources is in Charter of economic rights and duties of states adopted by The United Nations General Assembly on December 12, 1974.…”

Agreements in the field of energy involve possibilities to lower consumption of natural resources and increase in production of renewable sources of energy. However, such interactions between goals and average requirements of an energy complex can be successful only when concluding similar international agreements. As the relevance of the study is energy sector of developed countries, which strives for balance of sources of electricity. Novelty of the study is determined by the fact that for the first time agreements in the field of environmental conservation are considered as a reasonable compromise between the necessity to expand the number of applicable technologies and requirement to lower overall consumption. In this regard, the authors consider as the research object the European Union as the most harmonic combination of ecological requirements to the use of energy and general desire to compensate ecological damage. In the article, the legal framework of the agreement on energy regulation in block formation has been analysed using the example of the European Union. Practical application of the study is determined by that forming of coherent energy agreement depends on not only efforts of separate states, but also on the extent to which these conditions will be combined with economic policies and the quality content of energy conservation policies.

“…Such higher-order effects can cause stronger spillovers via demand shocks than can direct trade links themselves (Kireyev and Leonidov, 2015;Andritzky et al, 2016;Kireyev and Leonidov, 2016;Tran et al, 2017). Focusing on the EU region, Alatriste-Contreras (2015) shows that the most central sectors to the EU not only diffuse more broadly but also yield a greater aggregate economic impact on the EU. Baldwin and Lopez-Gonzalez (2015), for their part, consider Europe as a hub-and-spoke system in which Germany, the United Kingdom and France are the hubs or 'headquarters economies' that trade with a wide range of partners.…”

Over the years, European leaders have proudly waved a social flag as one of the European Union's (EU) constituent and differentiating elements. This commitment is assessed here through the social footprint of the European 2007-2013 multiannual financial framework among the EU countries and, worldwide, using an extended multiregional input-output model. The focus is on the quantity and the quality of income and jobs generated. We find that wellknown differences among its northern, southern and eastern regions threaten the EU's intentions for high social standards, enabling firstand second-class winners. Core EU countries account for the most of the Funds and, thus, most of the positive economic and social impacts, mainly through spillovers from peripheral regions. Beyond the EU borders, Funds expenditures induce capital compensation boosts in emerging countries not balanced by a similar labor compensation impulse. Indeed, China captures the bulk of low-skilled and temporary employment.
