The aim of this paper is to develop a mixed empirical methodology to identify, in a zero public deficit framework, those sectors with the capability for growth of output and employment, while also considering the environmental implications of the production of each sector. Their economic activities are ranked and selected in terms of their output, employment, and emissions multipliers. For an empirical analysis, a Social Accounting Matrix of the Spanish economy for 2008 is used. Among the findings, highlights the fact that consideration of the zero deficit in the public budget significantly alters the importance of the sectors for economic development, turning out key choosing a criterion for determining the allocation of public funds. El objetivo de este trabajo es el desarrollo de una metodologia empirica mixta para identificar, en un marco de deficit publico cero, los sectores que tienen la capacidad de crecimiento de la produccion y el empleo, teniendo tambien en cuenta las implicaciones ambientales de la produccion de cada sector. Las actividades economicas se clasifican y seleccionan en funcion de sus multiplicadores de produccion, empleo, y emisiones. Para un analisis empirico, se utiliza una Matriz de Contabilidad Social de la economia espanola para 2008. Entre los resultados, destaca el hecho de que la consideracion del deficit cero en el presupuesto publico altera significativamente la importancia de los sectores de desarrollo economico, resultando clave la eleccion de un criterio para determinar la asignacion de los fondos publicos.
