| description | <i>useeior</i> is an open-source R package that builds USEEIO models, a family of environmentally-extended input–output models of US goods and services used for life cycle assessment, environmental footprint estimation, and related applications. USEEIO models have gained a wide user base since their initial release in 2017, but users were often challenged to prepare required input data and undergo a complicated model building approach. To address these challenges, <i>useeior</i> was created. In <i>useeior</i>, economic and environmental data are conveniently retrievable for immediate use. Users can build models simply from given or user-specified model configuration and optional hybridization specifications. The assembly of economic and environmental data and matrix calculations are automatically performed. Users can export model results to desired formats. <i>useeior</i> is a core component of the USEEIO modeling framework. It improves transparency, efficiency, and flexibility in building USEEIO models, and was used to deliver the recent USEEIO model. |
