This work focuses on the employment effects associated with deploying this technology in a region (Aragon, Northeastern Spain) among the top in Spain in generation and even more in wind investments in the country. To this end, we have created a multi-regional input-output (MRIO) dataset and model in order to locate and explain the dynamics of those employment effects. The contribution to the existing literature consists of the fine-grained scale across time, spatial locations, and sectors of our model, dataset, and hence results. For greater robustness, we have analyzed the effects under different assumptions or scenarios depending on the temporal and conceptual scope and the geographical origin of the production of goods and services associated with the investments. The study estimates the employment supported specifying the economic sectors involved, the spatial locations where those jobs will most likely exist and how long they would last. With clear applicability to other contexts, the article enriches, the policy dilemmas in energy transition, and more specifically the currently hot social discussion on the local and regional effects, impacts, benefits, costs, etc. of renewable energies, which are implying social controversy. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S40-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2022-140010OB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ OTRI-2022-0242 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 2.2 2024 ENERGY & FUELS 137 / 182 = 0.753 2024 Q4 T3 0.62 2024 Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) 2024 Q2 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2024 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2024 Q2 Fuel Technology 2024 Q2 Nuclear Energy and Engineering 2024 Q2 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2024 Q2 6.6 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-4028-2965 Bielsa, Jorge Universidad de Zaragoza Rodríguez-López, Guillermo Universidad de Zaragoza García, Sebastián 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
