Abstract: Abstract In general, direct pollution effect is only a small part of the total effect of pollution when production/consumption activities take place in an economy. To estimate the same, we have to undertake multiplier analysis. In this chapter, we have followed the social accounting matrix (SAM) multiplier method to estimate empirically the multiplier impact of economic activity on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in India. To be specific, this chapter explains the linkage of output growth with energy demand and GHG emissions. Finally, the issue of green employment opportunity has been analyzed with the help of SAM multiplier.
