Regionalising bioeconomy indicators through the integration of subnational and firm-level data
提出一种整合区域统计与企业数据的方法,估算欧盟NUTS-2区域生物基活动的就业与增加值,意大利案例显示该方法能更准确识别区域差异,对政策评估与监测有价值。
This article develops an approach for estimating employment and value added in bio-based activities for European Union NUTS-2 territorial units. This method integrates regional statistics with firm-level data to increase the granularity of regional economic information, thereby enabling a more accurate identification of bio-based activities. A case study of Italy reveals a heterogeneous territorial distribution of bio-based activities, as well as substantial differences in region-specific bio-based shares across manufacturing sectors not captured by conventional approaches. Overall, the proposed approach represents an improvement in the measurement of the regional bioeconomy, which is essential for policy evaluation and monitoring.
