Discussion of the intensive variables in the Multi-Scale Integrated Assessment of the Societal and Ecological Metabolism (MuSIASEM) approach as a tool for sustainable policies.
Human Activity THA, HAPW, HAHH, HAAG , HAPS, HASG
Energy Throughput TET, ETPW, ETHH, ETAG , ETPS, ETSG
Exosomatic Metabolic Rate (EMR) ETi/Hai
Economic Labor Productivity (ELP) GDP/HAPW
Methodological details for the collection of the three types of data (very important details when the economy is disaggregated down to level n-4); the source of data: The National Institute for Statistics
Various MuSIASEM results for levels n, n-1 and n-2; Graphs for level n-3 and n-4 EMR Discussion of the link between structural
adjustment and the exosomatic metabolism of specific industries at level n-4

◦ Level n → National economy ◦ Level n-1→ PRODUCTION (Paid Work PW)◦ Level n-2 → Aggregated Sectors (Agriculture AG,
Productive Sectors PS, and Services and Government SG)
◦ Level n-3 → Sectors (Mining and Energy MiE; Manufacture and Building MaB; Transport, Public Adm. And Other for SG)

Future WorkMuSIASEM Variables and Energy Intensity at Sector Level
ETi exosomatic throughput; GDPi gross domestic product in sector i; EMRi exosomatic metabolic rate for sector i is final energy
consumed in that sector per hour of human activity; SIHAi saturation index for human activity in sector i is the
percentage of human activity used for activities in sector i; ELPi exosomatic labor productivity in the paid work
compartment is GDPi produced per hour of human activity in sector i.
