This case study applies forest accounting approaches to estimate economic depreciation of timber exploitation in the Amazonian region.
This report presents the results of an attempt to derive a damage function for soil loss using 20-year data projected through the application of the Erosion Productivity Index Calculator (EPIC) in one soil conservation project site in the Philippines.
This case study estimates the amount of rent generated by minerals and fisheries in Namibia and analyses the success of the government in recovering this rent for the good of the people. From an economic perspective, sustainable and equitable management of these resources requires that resource rent be recovered by the government through appropriate taxes. The report's findings indicate that while the resource rents generated by mining have been captured through taxes, the rents generated by fisheries are not yet fully captured by the fishing quota levies.
This report examines the potential policy uses of the different varieties of resource and environmental accounts, particularly greener national accounting aggregates such as genuine savings and 'Eco-Domestic Product'.
This publication describes the concepts, data sources, and methods used in the development of the Canadian System of Environmental and Resource Accounts (CSERA).
The New Zealand Energy, Economy and Emissions Account (1997 - 2003) presents national and industry level information on energy demand, economic activity, and gas emissions for New Zealand. The industry level information contained in this report is important, as it provides the means to adapt policies to individual industries and activities.
The New Zealand Energy Monetary Stock Account (1987 - 2001) presents the environmental asset value of energy resources in New Zealand. The country’s energy resources include non-renewable resources (coal, gas, and oil) and renewable energy resources (biogas, biomass, geothermal energy, hydro energy, solar energy, and wind energy).
The case study describes the calculation of the loss of values of an important wetland area in Hungary using the method of benefit transfer.
This case study describes a practical experience of biodiversity valuation in the Czech Republic. The methodology for estimating environmental values of biotypes, originally developed in the Hesse federal state of Germany, was used and applied on the three levels: local (Tlustec case study), regional (highway D8 project) and national (nation-wide evaluation of biotopes of the Czech Republic).
The paper discusses a compilation of economic accounts for wild fish stocks. The methods proposed in the System of National Accounting (SNA) satellite system and the System for Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting (SEEA) are discussed and their usefulness is assessed through examples.
