An Alternative Formulation of the Leontief Input-Output Pollution System


Abstract. In  1970  Wassily Leontief, who won the 1973 Noble Price in
Economic Science for his model of input-output economics,  extended his
input-output system to include pollution related activities.  The Leontief's
model can be used to choose different environmental friendly technologies
for the economy by solving systems of linear equations.  This paper provides
an alternative formulation of the Leontief input-output pollution system,
which requires less data than the classical model.

The presentation will be accessible to everybody and will provide a good
application of elementary linear algebra.
