TAKING THE ENVIRONMENT INTO ACCOUNT: THE NAMEA APPROACH

Mark de Haan and Steven Keuning

Review of Income and Wealth, 1996, vol. 42, issue 2, 131-148

Abstract: The National Accounting Matrix including Environmental Accounts (NAMEA) shows environmental burdens that are consistent with the economic figures in the national accounts. In the NAMEA, the existing national accounts matrix has been extended with accounts in physical units. On the basis of the expected contribution of each polluting substance to a particular environmental problem, emissions are converted to theme equivalents. This results in six summary environmental indicators that are directly comparable to the conventional economic aggregates. In addition, this meso‐level information system can be used as the core data framework for integrated analyses and forecasts of economic and environmental changes.
