The construction of an environmentally extended multi-scale MRSUT: the case of Indonesia

Abstract

This article presents the construction of an environmentally extended multi-scale multi-region supply and use table (MRSUT) combining the global MRSUT from EXIOBASE with a national MRSUT at the provincial level for Indonesia using TERM database (called INDOTERM). The multi-scale MRSUT covers 2010 and 2016, reflecting comprehensive information on the transactions of 80 products among 80 different industries across 34 Indonesian provinces, 43 countries, and 5 remaining continents. To ensure the consistency of Indonesian provincial data in the multi-scale MRSUT, we use a (sub)national accounts consistent approach. Extensions are created in the MRSUT, providing valuable information regarding GHG emissions, land use, and job creation. As an illustrative example of the practical utility of this multi-scale MRSUT, a case study is used to demonstrate how changes in global consumption can have differential economic and environmental impacts on specific provinces within Indonesia.
