ABSTRACT
The ground-breaking approach in extended input–output multipliers by Miyazawa and Masegi (1963) enables the possibility of extending the waste input–output (WIO) model by Nakamura and Kondo (2002b) to explicitly take the interdependency between income distribution (household consumption) and household waste production into consideration (see Batey and Rose 1990, for an overview of the extended input–output analysis). The endogenous treatment enables us not only to more elegantly account for intermediate inputs required for industrial waste and municipal solid waste (MSW) recycling and treatments but also to describe household waste production structure in relation to the household income and expenditure structure.
