FIGARO-E3: a high-resolution extended multi-regional input-output database consistent with official statistics

Existing ‘official’ multi-regional input-output (MRIO) databases lack sufficient sectoral detail and extensions for calculating accurate environmental and social footprints. FIGARO-E3 is a highly disaggregated MRIO database for 2015 with labour and environmental extensions largely consistent with official statistics. The database has been created by disaggregating the official FIGARO database (46 countries, 64 industries/products) to achieve a resolution of 175 industries and 213 products based on the monetary structures of EXIOBASE. Labour accounts (including total employment and employment by gender and by skill) are based on OECD data and EXIOBASE structures. Energy accounts (primary energy supply, net, final and non-energy uses, energy industry own use and energy losses) are based on the IEA’s extended energy balances and FIGARO-E3 MRIO tables. GHG emission accounts (covering four types of GHGs: CO2, CH4, N2O and fluorinated gases, both for combustion and non-combustion processes) are based on IEA and EDGAR data. GHG emission accounts for European countries have been reconciled with data from Eurostat. The FIGARO-E3 database is largely consistent with official statistics.
