Abstract

Carbon dioxide emission patterns in 1960-90 were examined in terms of industrial linkages and repercussions with involvement of households. The objective of this study is to clarify direct and indirect carbon dioxide emission patterns with internalization of households, and to discuss about the embodied emission patterns due to export and other final demand corresponding to the phase of rapid industrialization in Japan. The results are as follows: a) increased contribution of households to the emission was recognized in 1970-90 both through induced consumption and income repercussions, b) the trend of coefficients in the extended Leontief inverse matrix weighted by direct emission intensities of carbon dioxide showed patterns that the household sector had been likely to receive repercussion of the emission with reflection of post industrialization, c) the share of households in embodied carbon dioxide due to exports, especially of automobiles and household electric appliances, has rapidly increased following the phase of economic growth.
