National Academy Study reviewing the state of green accounting in the US.
Description: In order to really see the forest, what's the best way to count the trees? Understanding how the economy interacts with the environment has important implications for policy, regulatory, and business decisions. How should our national economic accounts recognize the increasing interest in and importance of the environment?
Nature's Numbers responds to concerns about how the United States should make these measurements. The book recommends how to incorporate environmental and other non-market measures into the nation's income and product accounts.
The panel explores alternative approaches to environmental accounting, including those used in other countries, and addresses thorny issues such as how to measure the stocks of natural resources and how to value non-market activities and assets. Specific applications to subsoil minerals, forests, and clean air show how the general principles can be applied.

Discusses the necessary extension of the asset boundary of conventional national accounts in order to account for environmental assets. Presents to main policy implications of green accounting: "(a) the use of environmentally adjusted 'eco-nomic' variables in macroeconomic policy and (b) the setting of market instruments of cost internalization according to the environmental cost generated by economic agents."
