A completely rewritten update of: Welfare measurement, sustainability, and green national accounting / Thomas Aronsson, Per-Olov Johansson, Karl-Gustaf Löfgren. c1997
Includes bibliographical references and index
Description:
This book cleverly integrates the research on welfare measurement and social accounting in imperfect market economies. In their previously acclaimed volume, Welfare Measurement, Sustainability and Green National Accounting, the authors focused on the external effects associated with environmental damage and analysed their role in the context of social accounting. This book adopts a much broader perspective by analysing a wide spectrum of resource allocation problems of real-world market economies
