摘要：We examine the complications involved in attributing emissions at a sub-regional or local level. Specically, we look at how functional specialisation embedded within the metropolitan area can, via trade between sub-regions, create intra- metropolitan emissions interdependencies; and how this complicates environ- mental policy implementation in an analogous manner to international trade at the national level. For this purpose we use a 3-region emissions extended input-output model of the Glasgow metropolitan area (2 regions: city and sur- rounding suburban area) and the rest of Scotland. The model utilises data on commuter ows and household consumption to capture income and consump- tion ows across sub-regions. This enables a carbon attribution analysis at the sub-regional level, allowing us to shed light on the signicant emissions interde- pendencies that can exist within metropolitan areas
