A GMR–Európa-modell alkalmazása kék gazdaság-típusú innovációk hatásvizsgálatára
Application of GMR–Europe Model For the Examination of Blue Economy-type Innovations’ Effect

Summary/Abstract: The present paper introduces and applies a new model-system, which is suitable for analysing impacts of blue economy-type innovations. Professional literature contribution covers three aspects. First a multi-sectoral calculated general equilibrium (CGE) model was created, which can show the economic effect of the use of recycled waste. Secondly, an empirical methodology was worked out, by which blue economy type new technologies can be concretely shown in regional input-output tables. Since blue innovations are largely based on local inputs, they have primarily local impacts. Furthermore, however, the interregional rippling of local effects may have importance partly because of the indirectly changed trade among regions, and partly because of the induced migration. Therefore we employed a model frame, which is capable of sensing complex spatial processes. The selected model frame is the GMR-Europe model, which has already been elaborated, and frequently used for other purposes. Perhaps the most popular blue economy-type innovation is the one, when edible mushroom is grown on coffee grounds. We make an estimation of effects of this innovation to the Southern Transdanubia region by this model.
