Economy Map 2.0: Mapping Supply Chains in Network Mode

Economy Map displays the overall environmental and human health impacts of the US economy in one of three display modes. In network mode, the economy is displayed as a network of flows showing, on the left hand, where in the economy impacts are generated, and on the right hand where responsibility could be allocated for the final economic demand that causes those impacts. The network display mode is particularly useful for understanding the relationship between economic demand and upstream environmental impacts, and for visualizing how impacts flow along supply chains in the economy. This video introduces the user interface for the network display mode and explains how to use it to create diagrams of the flow of specific impacts along specific supply chains.
