IP EXIOPOL: A New Environmental Accounting Framework Using Externality Data and Input-Output Tools for Policy Analysis
The EXIOPOL IP has 3 principal objectives:
- To synthesize and develop comprehensive estimates of the external costs for Europe of a broad set of economic activities;
- To set up a detailed environmentally extended (EE) Input-Output (I-O) framework, with links to other socio-economic models, in which as many of these estimates as possible are included. Such an EE I-O table for the EU 25 does not exist. This will allow for the estimation of environmental impacts and external costs of different economic sector activities, final consumption activities and resource consumption for countries in the EU;
- To apply the results of the external cost estimates and EE I-O analysis for the analysis of policy questions of importance, as well as to evaluate the impact of past research on external costs on policy-making in the EU.

Project description
- To synthesize and develop comprehensive estimates of the external costs for Europe of a broad set of economic activities;
- To set up a detailed environmentally extended (EE) Input-Output (I-O) framework, with links to other socio-economic models, in which as many of these estimates as possible are included. Such an EE I-O table for the EU 25 does not exist. This will allow for the estimation of environmental impacts and external costs of different economic sector activities, final consumption activities and resource consumption for countries in the EU;
- To apply the results of the external cost estimates and EE I-O analysis for the analysis of policy questions of importance, as well as to evaluate the impact of past research on external costs on policy-making in the EU.
For such a broad research field with so many partners, several priorities have been chosen and the project was organized into 6 mutually supporting clusters:
Cluster I: Strategy and Institutional Embedment
coordinator: The Netherlands Organisation For Applied Scientific Research - TNO
Cluster II: Externality Estimates: Extension and Development
coordinator: Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei - FEEM
Cluster III: Development of a detailed EU-25 EE I-O model
coordinator: The Netherlands Organisation For Applied Scientific Research - TNO
Cluster IV: Application for policy analysis and knowledge spillovers
coordinator: The Netherlands Organisation For Applied Scientific Research - TNO
Cluster V: Dissemination and training
coordinator: Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei - FEEM
Cluster IV: Coordination and Management
coordinator: Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei - FEEM
The Center was active in the Work Stream IV.5 of the Cluster IV.
