The energy-type input-output table in the research of sustainable development in China

Summary form only given, as follows. The input-output analysis of economic balance in real estate or value form only considers the input and output of the material product section. The sustainable development considers the ecological system including population, economics, natural resources and environment. The input-output analysis of sustainable development has to take them into consideration such as labor input, natural resource input, wastage brought along with the product output and the impact of wastage on the environment. The input-output tables in real estate or value form could not be applied directly in the analysis of sustainable development due to the complexity of the ecological system. The ecological system including population, economics, natural resources and environment should be measured in energy, therefore, the energy-type input-output table is the extension of that in the real estate or value form. The inputs of input-output table in energy form consist of not only the material product input, but also the human resource input and the natural resource input; its outputs consist of not only the material output, but also the wastage output and the impact of wastage on the environment. The energy-type input-output model, including population, economics, natural resources and environment, is given in the paper. The model is applied in the analysis of sustainable development
