Abstract

In this paper, we define environmental protection (EP) activities in the context of an input‐output (I‐O) framework. The U.S. I‐O table is adjusted to separate inputs purchased by various economic sectors to abate pollution. We use I‐O concepts and the I‐O matrix adjusted for EP activities to derive a matrix of inputs to EP activities, which is independent of the matrix of inputs to traditional economic activities. This matrix is the basis for deriving measures of the economic importance of EP activities, including the size of EP activities relative to GNP and direct employment and indirect employment attributable to EP activities.
