Data for a steel industry model

SNF has recently developed a new model of the steel market and some of the major factor markets connected to the steel industry. The aim of the model has been to study how regulations of the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the steel industry might affect the structure of the industry. It has also been an objective to investigate how structural changes in the steel industry might influence on the industry’s demand for transport services. This paper outlines the details about the data that enter the model. It describes the procedures that has been used and highlights some of the main data on production, factor use, factor prices, industry costs, trade, trade costs and CO2-emissions in the steel industry.
