Summary: Understanding the energy consumption of information and communication technology (ICT) is crucial for the sustainable development of the digital economy. This paper develops a framework to analyze the embodied energy of China's ICT sectors, integrating input-output model and structural path analysis. The results indicate that the embodied energy of ICT sectors in 2018 was significantly higher than their direct energy consumption, with a large portion indirectly originating from non-ICT sectors. The study also identifies key consumer sectors, final demand, and critical supply chain paths, providing insights for the sustainable development of ICT sectors and the digital economy.

Summary: This paper introduces a computable formulation of Pasinetti's dual system of prices and quantities and empirically explores the structural dynamics of six advanced industrial economies between 1995 and 2015. By using a dataset collating different OECD databases, the study analyzes the evolution of demand, productivity, wages, and the general price level, as well as the trends of job creation and displacement.

Summary: The rapid growth of the digital economy has caused a significant CO2 emission problem in China, due to the massive demand for electricity and the coal-based power generation. This study assessed CO2 emissions in the digital economy sectors, identified key transmission centers, and suggested measures to decarbonize and reduce CO2 emissions.

Summary: This study uses input-output analysis to examine the structural changes and sector linkages in the Indian economy between 2000 and 2019. The results show that manufacturing sectors have stronger intersectoral linkages, particularly resource-intensive and scale-intensive sectors. Additionally, the analysis reveals that Indian sectors became more externalized following the global financial crises and received less feedback from other sectors. The study suggests that intersectoral linkages should be considered when designing industrial policies and investment should be encouraged in India's key economic sectors.

Summary: The main driving forces behind the growth of China's freight transport demand include strong growth in total final demand, an increasingly freight-intensive economic structure, and lengthening inter-industry production linkages. As the Chinese economy shifts towards a consumption-driven model, policymakers need to consider the implications of future demand shocks and inherent changes in the Chinese economy on transport energy demand and carbon emission mitigation strategy.

Summary: To combat climate change, the Chinese government aims to reach the national carbon emission peak by 2030, with technological advances in energy playing a key role. Adjusting the energy-intensive economic structure and accelerating economic transformation can contribute to earlier realization of peaking CO2 emissions.

Summary: The article presents a systematic approach to quantify the criticality of economic sectors and rank them based on their importance. The approach uses a sector criticality index (SCI) based on five criteria, including economic impact, connectivity, sector size, income multiplier, and employment. A case study is provided to illustrate the application of the proposed approach.

Summary: The value of Canadian agriculture extends beyond its direct contributions to the economy, with significant indirect and induced impacts through upstream and downstream industries. Recent studies using Input-Output analysis show that when considering these indirect and induced impacts, the economic value of agricultural industries surpasses traditional valuations. However, there is a limited number of comprehensive studies available, highlighting the need for more research at regional and national levels using up-to-date data and methodology. Understanding the true economic value of agriculture is crucial in informing policies and investments to maximize its potential.

Summary: This study utilizes the PMG model and input-output table analysis to investigate the impact of climate change on tourism demand. The results suggest a potential decrease in Greek GDP of 1.79% to 2.61% due to climate change, calling for appropriate policy actions to offset or alleviate these negative impacts.

Summary: This study utilizes longer series of input-output tables and global input-output databases to propose a methodology for tracing the contribution of different drivers of changes in interindustrial relationships over time. The Extended TLI decomposes the economy-wide effects of changes in direct interindustrial links between years, isolating the impact of different determinants of economic spillovers according to the interests of the researcher.
