Review of Environment, Energy and Economics - Re3, 2013

Abstract: The study analyses the Bolzano Province economic system, with the aim of understanding its relationships with the ecosphere. An Input–Output model, combined with the Life Cycle Assessment, has been applied to assess the potential impacts related to air emissions, energy consumption and waste generation by economic activities. The results showed that most of the impacts are due to the production and disposal of waste. Specifically, the major impacts are attributable to the tertiary sector (domestic demand) and secondary sector (for the production of goods that have to be exported).
