Description

This repository documents code (python) and data (spreadsheets) for tracing material flows into final products, using
industry shipment data in physical units and monetary input-output tables. Examples are for detailed U.S. national level data and EXIOBASE3 regions. For EXIOBASE, we used Version 3.8.2 (10.5281/zenodo.5589597) which has to be downloaded separately. Underlying methods and documentation can be found in the two related journal articles below, as well as in the ReadMe within the zip-file.

(I) A review of methods to trace material flows into final products in dynamic material flow analysis - from industry shipments in physical units to monetary input-output tables (part I)

(II) A review of methods to trace material flows into final products in dynamic material flow analysis - comparative application of six methods to the USA and EXIOBASE3 regions (part II)
