This course provides the theory, techniques and hands-on experience necessary to understand input-output and its applications to a set of economic and environmental issues. Input-output has the capacity to measure linkages and the propagation of an economic or environmental shock across sectors and regions of an economy. It is commonly used for transportation planning, disaster relief, energy forecasting, environmental analysis (pollution attribution), social accounting models, and quantifying the impact of a terrorist attack. An important aspect of the course is to gain hands-on experience by applying the appropriate techniques and perform impact analysis with Microsoft Excel and PyIO (Python Input-Output).
