# Import Emission Factors

Code in this folder can be used to produce measures of embodied environmental flows per dollar commodity imported into the U.S.
This is the active implementation of the methodology described in the USEPA report [Estimating embodied environmental flows in international imports for the USEEIO Model](https://cfpub.epa.gov/si/si_public_record_report.cfm?dirEntryId=362470). The two primary steps are the creation of import shares, which reflect the fractions of contributions from countries to a dollar import of a given commodity in a year. Import shares are independent of the MRIO.
The second major step is the generation of the import emission factors from a given multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model. Import emissions factors are created by an environmental flow (e.g., Carbon dioxide) in units of that flow per USD (e.g., kg/USD).
