Sector-Level Environmental Pressure Intensity Rankings Derived from EXIOBASE 3

A sector-level environmental intensity dataset derived from EXIOBASE 3 satellite accounts. The data transforms country-sector observations into harmonized profiles and ranks sectors by their environmental pressure per unit of economic output. The repository, authored by Osama Diab and hosted on Harvard Dataverse, contains processed outputs and reproducible code, with raw data to be obtained from the original EXIOBASE 3 source.

Use Cases

• Comparative environmental accounting of different economic sectors based on direct pressure intensity per economic output.
• Ranking sectors by environmental intensity across multiple dimensions using the frequency-based environmental prominence framework.
• Analyzing percentile distributions and diagnostic subsets of sectoral environmental performance for robustness analysis.

Strengths

• Derived from the established EXIOBASE 3 multi-regional input-output database and its environmental satellite accounts.
• Includes multiple analytical outputs: environmental intensity rankings, indicator-specific rankings, percentile distributions, and diagnostic subsets.
• Indicator selection aimed to maximize coverage while minimizing duplication among closely related environmental indicators.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling needs.
• The dataset contains processed outputs only; raw data must be obtained separately under applicable licensing conditions.
