There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

We present an integrated input-output analysis for the inter-relationship among natural resource, energy, economy and environment in this talk. By applying the linkage analysis of nature resource-economy-environment (Lei, 1997) and the theory of marginal opportunity cost (MOC) (Pearce, 1989), we first design a theoretical Integrated Input-output Table, in which we explicitly consider the energy factor, based on our Integrated Input-output Accounting Framework of Natural Resources-Economy-Environment. We then formulate the corresponding Input-output models. Finally, as an application, we provide a case study on scenario forecasting and analysis for Chinese energy-resources-economy-environment (1992-2020), which aims to investigate the conditions and inter-relationship of energy, resource, economy and environment in terms of suitability and sustainability for economic growth, in light of Chinese Input-output Table (value), Chinese
Statistics Year Book, Chinese Energy Balance and so on.
