Regional economic impact of oil spills

Environmental & Resource Economics, 1994, vol. 4, issue 3, 265-277

Abstract: This article demonstrates an approach of coupling an environmental model to I-O analysis which aims to quantify the regional economic impact of an environmental accident. The model is implemented with the data of a potential oil spill interacting with the salmon aquaculture industry in Northern Norway. The production loss in salmon aquaculture and the regional income impact is computed and discussed. The approach used in this article could be a model for estimating the regional socio-economic impact of environmental factors like water and air pollution. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1994
