A multivariate statistical input–output model for analyzing water-carbon nexus system from multiple perspectives - Jing-Jin-Ji region

Abstract

Water scarcity and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission continue to be challenges faced by decision makers in urban and regional scales. In this study, a multivariate statistical input–output (MSIO) model is developed for analyzing water-carbon nexus system, through incorporating techniques of input–output analysis (IOA) and multivariate statistical analysis (MSA) into a general framework. MSIO is able to: (i) recognize the complicated characteristics …
