ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND THE SNA

Anne Harrison

Review of Income and Wealth, 1989, vol. 35, issue 4, 377-388

Abstract: The concept of environmental accounting is developing as the system of national accounts (SNA) is being revised. A basic difference at present is that environmentalists regard natural resources as assets analogous to man‐made capital, whereas they are treated as free gifts of nature in the national accounts. In this paper the author examines the consequences for the SNA of adopting the environmentalists approach to capital.
