Description:

Recently, suggestions have been made for revising or supplementing national economic accounts so that they reflect welfare changes associated with the degradation of environmental goods and natural resources. This project will provide a comprehensive theoretical examination of potential account revisions. The examination will seek to answer the question: which national account revisions provide information that allows for meaningful comparisons of social welfare? The results of this analysis will provide insight into how to interpret suggested account revisions, emphasize the limitations of these suggestions, and to identify new potential directions for adjusting national economic accounts so that environmental values are accurately reflected.
