Welcome to IIOA!

The International Input-Output Association (IIOA) is a non-profit, scientific organisation founded in 1988. The IIOA today is a thriving, growing and influential organisation with 931 members spanning 64 countries.

The objective of the IIOA is the advancement of knowledge in the field of Input-Output data compilation and analysis, including improvements in basic data, theoretical insights and modelling, and applications - traditional and novel - of Input-Output techniques. The IIOA delivers its core objectives by supporting young scholars, widening the awareness of the organisation, providing exchange of experience through our global annual IIOA Conference.

The global IIOA community brings together both producers (e.g. national statistical offices) of the statistics needed and the wide range of users, analysts and policy makers to advance knowledge on energy, environment, international trade, financial flows, price and general equilibrium analysis, ecological sustainability and well-being.

We welcome you to browse through the IIOA webpages, contact one of our Council Members, and to attend our annual conferences to learn more of the IIOA and its activities.

TOPIC

Abstract: Carbon pricing is a pivotal strategy in combating climate change, serving as a cost-effective and flexible tool to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By assigning a monetary value to carbon emissions, it internalizes the external costs associated with climate change—such as extreme weather, health risks, and biodiversity loss—making polluters responsible for the environmental damage they cause. This approach incentivizes businesses and individuals to reduce their carbon footprint, steering economic activities towards more sustainable practices. However, charging polluters raises the cost of producing goods and services that rely on fossil fuels, directly affecting industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and energy and indirectly affecting all economic activities. Effects on producers’ prices, inflation, or competitiveness are crucial for policy makers. As companies face higher production costs, they may pass these increased expenses onto consumers in the form of higher prices. Through the global value chain, the ripple effect of these cost increases can propagate. As raw materials and intermediate goods become more expensive, the cumulative effect magnifies, leading to a general rise in prices across different activities and countries. The Carbon Price App (CPA) facilitates the detailed analysis of price changes attributable to carbon pricing, targeting producers and consumers. This model integrates both the direct and indirect impacts on prices through the established methodology of input-output price modeling, while also considering the effect introduced by international trade through the global supply chain.
