  2. Further reflections on footprints • Case for accounting for consumption based measures (footprints) as complements to traditional production based measures is clear. • To focus exclusively on policies that look at domesticproduction risks ‘environmental leakages’ . Global production chains require looking at the whole picture – international production and domestic consumption.

  3. Per capita Changes in Domestic Consumption of CO2 emissions broken down by emission source between 1995 and 2005

  4. Further reflections on footprints • Case for accounting for consumption based measures (footprints) as complements to traditional production based measures is clear. • To focus exclusively on policies that look at domesticproduction risks ‘environmental leakages’ . Global production chains require looking at the whole picture – international production and domestic consumption. • IO approach is necessarily aggregated, so, necessitates care in interpretation and policy development. But does identify those industries/countries where policies (pricing mechanisms, technology transfers etc) could reduce national footprints.

  5. Imported Emissions from China: % of total footprint Between 2005-2008 China’s emissions increased by 1500Mt CO2 and current account balance up from $134 bn to $312 bn Imported emissions up 200-300Mt of CO2 Net exports close to 600Mt of C02 in 2005 = total consumption of UK US demand induced emissions in Chinese electricity generation equivalent to total Greek emissions

  6. Emissions embodied in HHFC: Mt per capita, 2005 With US rates, global emissions would more than double If Chinese and Indian households induced French levels of CO2, global emissions would be close to 50% higher

  7. But focus on sustainability, through price mechanisms needs to recognise distributional impacts

  8. Emissions and Consumption in France: 2005 X 3.4 X 2.7 CO2 emissions consumption Source: INSEE

  9. Further reflections on TiVA • Joint OECD-WTO initiative • Mainstreaming • Institutionalised production of a global input-output table • And Motivating improvements at the national level • Linking trade and business registers to business statistics (and eventually input-output tables): OECD Workshop 25-26 October 2012, to identify export/import firm economic characteristics (including ownership) • Improved information on imports (services, and type) and consumers • Tracing income flows (and the role of capital) • Looking at jobs, tasks and skills

  10. Foreign content share of China's exports by broad industry category – who benefits from trade?

  11. What does globalisation mean for statistics • Increasing recognition that national statistical information systems need to better reflect global phenomena. • Requires a greater emphasis on exporting/importing firms and owners. • And an updated perspective on IO and SU tables. • But also requires stronger consistencies between labour statistics (jobs, skills etc) and national accounts. • And more detail. Policies impacts on the household and not the average.
