EXIOBASE is a global, detailed Multi-Regional Environmentally Extended Supply-Use Table (MR-SUT) and Input-Output Table (MR-IOT). It was developed by harmonizing and detailing supply-use tables for a large number of countries, estimating emissions and resource extractions by industry. Subsequently the country supply-use tables were linked via trade creating an MR-SUT and producing MR-IOTs from this. The MR-IOT that can be used for the analysis of the environmental impacts associated with the final consumption of product groups.
EXIOBASE was developed by a consortium of several research institutes in projects financed by the European research framework programs. Three versions of EXIOBASE are available.
EXIOBASE version 3
This version comes in two forms: monetary and hybrid. The monetary form of exiobase 3 has the usual structure with monetary supply-use tables with physical extensions. The monetary supply-use tables were originally available for the years 1995 - 2011, with various nowcasts to extend the data to 2020 (and beyond). A range of updates have been produced. More details are available on the respective download pages on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/5589597
The monetary tables have the following characteristics:
- 44 countries, 5 Rest of World regions
- 200 products
- 163 industries
- 3 employment skill levels per gender
- 417 emission categories
- 662 material and resources categories
The hybrid tables were derived from the monetary tables, and estimated in mixed units for the year 2011.
Various concordance tables for the database are available here.
