Abstract

This paper provides an extended input-occupancy-output analysis of wastewater discharge coefficients, as well as backward and forward linkages of Chinese multi-regional industrial sectors in 2007. The results show that the direct and total industrial wastewater discharge coefficients of most of the provincial industrial sectors in China’s Eastern region are lower than those of the whole country. Both backward and forward linkages of fixed-asset occupancy in industrial sectors in China’s Central and Western regions are strong. The dissimilarity of cross-sectional data of the relevant industrial wastewater discharge coefficients and linkages in multi-regional input-output analysis becomes bigger as regions are divided more extensively.
