My research results consist of the following three parts ; (1) the application of Japanese Environmental Input-output Table, (2) the research on Chinese Environmental problem, (3) the research into interdependence of economy and environment in East-Asia. The summaries of each research part are as follows. (1) : First, The 1995 Japanese Environmental Input-output Table was estimated. Second, fact findings from the 1995 table were summarized and the comparison between that table and the previous tables were made. Third, I applied that table for the analysis of environmental household accounts, and clarified the structure of CO_2 emission from Japanese various households. Fourth, because heating and lighting expenses are deeply related to CO2 emission, I clarified the structure of those expenses of Japanese various households. (2) : The most important environmental problem in china is SO_2 emission from coal consumption. So I investigated the actual conditions of Chinese coal consumption and SO_2 emission and did simulation analysis under the condition of new technology. (3) : EDEN (Economic Development and Environment Navigation) is the Input - Output database focused on economical statistics for energy and environment factor of Asia 9 nations (Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Taiwan). Using the EDEN1990 I analyzed the relationship between environmental problem and production technology or household consumption structure.
