Environmentally important paths, linkages and key sectors in the Australian economy

Traditional work on linkages, fields of influence and structural paths is extended to include environmental and natural resource parameters. The theoretical basis for the generalisation of all three concepts is presented. Recent empirical data on energy consumption, land disturbance, water use and emissions of greenhouse gases NOx and SO2, is used to reveal the interdependence of industries in the Australian economy in terms of environmental pressure and resource depletion. Grazing industries, electricity generation, metals, chemicals, textiles, meat and dairy products, wholesale and retail, non-residential building and hospitality exhibit above-average linkages. A considerable part of environmental and resource pressure is exerted along paths for providing exports.
