Abstract
In the present paper, we propose the use of enterprise input-output (EIO) models to describe and analyse the logistics flows considering spatial issues and related environmental effects associated with production and transportation processes. In particular, transportation is modelled as a specific production process, both at an aggregate and disaggregate level, then permitting to cope with more managerial or policy-oriented problems. Moreover, the use of EIO models can be useful to represent and analyse logistics services markets, accounting and planning the demand and supply of transportation
