Indirect Economic Effects

Effects of an earthquake are not necessarily restricted to damage of structures, but extend much further. This paper presents a method for estimating indirect economical effects caused by an earthquake. Loss of production may be caused by a decrease of products due to damage of production, damage of transportation facilities, and damage of materials and goods. Effect of investment for restoration is also considered. Based on direct loss associated with production loss, a secondary “ripple” effect was estimated through an inter-industry relation analysis (input-output analysis). The procedure was applied to the Nihonkai-chubu, Japan, Earthquake of 1983. Estimated gross products at the damaged region agreed fairly well with those actually observed after the earthquake.

Input Output Analysis

Bio-energy is a research field that is of worldwide interest. South Korea, which imports all of its heavy fuel oil for consumption, passed a new law allowing bio-heavy oil made from animal fat, by-product of biodiesel processes, palm oil, and other leftover oil to be used to generate electricity in place of heavy fuel oil. As there is lack of policy research with respect to liquid biofuels, the purpose of this study is to define the bio-heavy oil industry in South Korea and to investigate the economic effects of bio-heavy oil. An input–output analysis model was used and demonstrated that the production-, value-added-, import-, and employment-induced effects of the bio-heavy oil industry were larger than those induced by the heavy fuel oil industry. As the import of fuel by the heavy fuel oil industry was greater than the bio-heavy oil industry, the import substitution effect of the bio-heavy oil industry was found to be greater. This resulted in a positive value for the net-induced effect of the bio-heavy oil industry. When considering the global concern with respect to the development and expansion of biofuel feedstock, this study shows the possibility of transforming heavy fuel oil plants distributed around the world into renewable energy sources.
