Summary
This paper presents a brief critique of the use of fixed-coefficient input-output models for use in energy/environmental modeling systems, a shortcoming of input-output models that has been often been noted. Then, given the existence of aggregate, general-equilibrium, variable-coefficient growth models, a methodology is presented for using this information to adjust a recent disaggregated input-output table. This methodology takes into account all of the general-equilibrium aspects of the aggregate model in making the changes in the disaggregate model. The use of various weighting schemes and the implicit technological change biases they embody are examined. The methodology is being tested on historical tables for the United States, and preliminary results are discussed. This methodology's ability to fully capture the general-equilibrium nature of the economy should enhance the usefulness of input-output models in energy/environmental modeling systems.
