| Popis: |
We assess environmental performance across product types and across householdtypes in order to evaluate environmental pressure from human activities. To so do, we combinefamily budget statistics, input-output tables, energy and material flow matrices, various typesof emissions and environmental effects indices for various effect types (e.g. a global warmingpotential index, an ozone depletion potential index, etc). Subsequently, using DEA (DataEnvelopment Analysis), we use these weighted environmental effects indices to form one environmentalperformance score for each family type and product type. We find that the environmentalperformance of each family type changes considerably across environmental effect types. Theanalysis of the overall environmental performance scores shows that families living in urbanflats, especially the young and elderly families, have the most environmentally friendly consumptionpattern. Middle income families living in houses have the least environmentally friendlyconsumer basket, and these families constitute a high share of all families in Denmark. |
