Research Abstract |
(1) We estimated imputed costs on global environment by abatement cost and quantity of pollutants Japan discharged and by production cost and quantity of resources Japan imported. But, we excluded some resources whose imputed costs are in dispute. (2) We made an trial estimates of Japanese environmental and economic accounting of 26X27 matrix in 1990 and 1995 which include effects of economic activities on global environment. (3) According to these estimates of Japanese environmental and economic accounting which include effects on global environment, environmentally adjusted NDP of Japan increased during these five years. It does not mean sufficient condition for "economic" sustainability and any "physical" sustainability, but a kind of necessary condition for "economic" sustainability. (4) There are two approaches for measurement of national income; i.e. Hicksian income and national welfare. We showed that since environmentally adjusted NDP belongs to the former, theoretically it is a linear approximation for "true" national income, so it is not sufficient for managing environmental problems.
