Quantifying virtual water scarcity risk transfers of energy system in China
N°139 – January 2021  
Xuebing Yao, Xu Tang, Arash Farnoosh, Cuiyang Feng


Using multi-regional input-output analysis, this study estimates the virtual flows ad virtual water scarcity risk transfers driven by interprovincial energy consumption in China.
