In (large) countries with highly diversified economic structures across provinces, global EE-MRIO may not capture the different effects at the sub-national level. The study developed a multi-scale EE-MRIO for Indonesia comprising 34 Indonesian provinces, 43 countries, and 5 rest of world regions, 80 industries and 80 products, 6 employments, 3 emissions, and 12 land use types for 2010 and 2016. The model can be used for global and provincial impact assessments. We conducted case studies on sectors of high importance for specific provinces, such as palm oil. We also analysed carbon and land footprints across Indonesia, by product and province and final demand category and examined the relation with Human Development Index (HDI) by province. The work in this thesis shows that multi-scale EE-MRIO analysis has significant potential to assess performance on economic, environmental, and social dimensions at the sub-national level and is highly relevant for providing improved support to sustainable development policies in Indonesia. Finally, this study emphasized the critical need for the availability of datasets at the national and provincial levels on a regular basis.
