Abstract

Green economy has been offered as an innovative initiative to achieve a sustainable development. This framework covers three important aspects, namely economic, environmental, and social aspect. This paper aims to identify sectors that satisfy all three criteria of a green economy framework. Those sectors must have high multiplier effect on the economy, have a relatively low CO2 emissions and better income distribution. Technically, the paper develops Indonesian energy social accounting matrix and calculates three indicators in order to identify green economy priority sectors. Those indicators are output multiplier index, emissions multiplier index, and Theil index. The results suggest 11 sectors that satisfy all three aspects of green economy.

  2. The detailed results are available upon request.

  3. To the best of author’s knowledge, there is no study that models land-use changes by using SAM in order to calculate CO2 emission from agriculture. However, Warr and Yusuf (2011) introduce a CGE model to analyze the same issue.
