title: EXIOBASE-hybrid - Consequential System

description:  

Introduction

The Consequential System of EXIOBASE hybrid is an extended version of EXIOBASE hybrid (Merciai & Schmidt, 2018), a multi-regional hybrid input-output database. This system is particularly notable for its incorporation of models that address indirect land use changes (iLUC) and marginal electricity generation mix, alongside the inclusion of capital goods in its core input-output framework. These extensions enhances the model's capability in assessing long-term environmental consequences of human activities. 



Indirect land use change (iLUC): The model details land use-related environmental impacts by integrating indirect land use change activity accounting, such as deforestration and intensification, based on Schmidt et al. (2015). The model is first introduced into EXIOBASE by Schmidt & De Rosa (2018).

Marginal electricity mix: The model developed a long-term marginal electricity mix based on detailed characteristics of different electricity generation technologies. The underlying methodology is described in Muñoz et al. (2015) and its implementation in EXIOBASE is described in Merciai & Schmidt (2017)

Capital endogenization: The model fill the gap in capital goods use by activities by distributing capital goods use to industrial and final demand activities.
