Sectoral Analysis of Environmental Economics: The View from Ukraine
Sectoral Analysis of Environmental Economics: The View from Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The study is devoted to environmentally extended input-output tables in the form of economic analysis based on the interdependencies between economic sectors. The Leontief-Ford model is considered as a basic method for research. This model generalizes the Leontief model in two groups of industries (production): primary (sectors of material production) and secondary production (industry, dealing with the destruction of pollutants). The analysis of the sectoral structure gave a general view of the current situation in Ukraine. The regional breakdown requires the development and implementation of regional concepts, strategies, programs of ecological and economic development. They should be based on the Strategy of macroeconomic development with the priority of the ecological economy formation, and its goals are formulated and based on the analysis of the sectoral structure of the economy. The short-term strategy should be based on structural changes in the economy with a gradual minimization of resource intensity and waste generation.
