"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 o ..."
"One of the basic issues of accounting is to augment, or extend the conventional net national product measure so as to obtain a better indicator of welfare. This book extends the usual analysis on social accounting by taking into account technological change, externalities and uncertainty. It analyzes welfare measurement, sustainability and "green accounting" within general equilibrium models. A large part of the book is devoted to welfa ..."

In doing so, they show how a rather general theoretical model can be converted into a useful empirical model.
The book opens with a ..."
