Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis for Sustainable Policies: Romanian Socioeconomic Metabolism Raluca Ioana Iorgulescu*&**, Lucian Liviu Albu* and Cristian Stanica* *Romanian Institute of Economic Forecasting **Siena College NY USA Funding for this research was provided by: FP7-SSH-2007-1Project no.217213 SMILE Trends and Future of Sustainable Development Tampere, Finland June 9-10, 2011
Objective Discussion of the intensive variables in the Multi-Scale Integrated Assessment of the Societal and Ecological Metabolism (MuSIASEM) approach as a tool for sustainable policies.
Variables • Human Activity THA, HAPW, HAHH, HAAG , HAPS, HASG • Energy Throughput TET, ETPW, ETHH, ETAG , ETPS, ETSG • Exosomatic Metabolic Rate (EMR) ETi/Hai • Economic Labor Productivity (ELP) GDP/HAPW
MuSIASEM at levels n-3 and n-4 • Methodological details for the collection of the three types of data (very important details when the economy is disaggregated down to level n-4); the source of data: The National Institute for Statistics • Various MuSIASEM results for levels n, n-1 and n-2; • Graphs for level n-3 and n-4 EMR • Discussion of the link between structural adjustment and the exosomatic metabolism of specific industries at level n-4
MuSIASEM Variables and Energy Intensity • Level n→ National economy • Level n-1→ PRODUCTION (Paid Work PW) • Level n-2 → Aggregated Sectors (Agriculture AG, Productive Sectors PS, and Services and Government SG) • Level n-3 → Sectors (Mining and Energy MiE; Manufacture and Building MaB; Transport, Public Adm. And Other for SG) • Level n-4 → Industries (CANE Rev.1 divisions)
Romanian Energy Intensity and Exosomatic Metabolic Rate for Societal Average (level n)
Exosomatic Metabolic Rates for level n-2 EMR_PS (MJ/hour) EMR_SG (MJ/hour) EMR_AG (MJ/hour)
Future Work MuSIASEM Variables and Energy Intensity at Sector Level ETi exosomatic throughput; GDPi gross domestic product in sector i; EMRi exosomatic metabolic rate for sector i is final energy consumed in that sector per hour of human activity; SIHAi saturation index for human activity in sector i is the percentage of human activity used for activities in sector i; ELPi exosomatic labor productivity in the paid work compartment is GDPi produced per hour of human activity in sector i. 16
