About this book

Concerns about natural resource scarcity, together with the increased awareness of environmental problems, has led to widespread interest in green accounting, which attempts to extend the standard national accounts to include the yields from natural and environmental resources. For Green National Accounting and Sustainability, Professors Lofgren and Li have selected the classic articles in this rapidly growing area, with particular reference to sustainability. They have also written an authoritative new introduction which offers a comprehensive overview of the literature both from a historical and a formal theoretical perspective.

Green National Accounting and Sustainability will be an invaluable reference source for scholars and practitioners seeking an in-depth understanding of the main issues in this important field.
