Appropriate for graduate students, this handbook introduces the theory of social accounting and different systems of environmental accounts for measuring the contribution that changes in
environmental assets make to change in social welfare. The ten chapters develop a framework for money metrics-based welfare measurement, a dynamic endogenous risk model, a dynamic
representative agent model with linear taxation, and a dynamic aggregate model of global warming. The contributors also review recent advances in dynamic cost-benefit analysis, hyperbolic
discounting, green national accounts, sustainable consumption programs, and genuine saving. The editors are economics professors at Umea University. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland,
