The focus of this paper is to discuss and show the policy relevance of "environmental load displacement" adjustments to national aggregate (macroeconomic) indicators for taking account of openness to the rest of the world. A national economy is considered as a set of production and consumption...

This paper describes some historical features of the global economic geography of copper, and explores the conditions underpinning environmental conflicts in this sector, while showing some examples. We found that Europe and Japan are progressively more dependent on imports from developing...

Mineral extraction is related to complex sustainable-development issues that are subject to international and local controversies. Debates and decisions need to be based on objective and comparative elements. Defining strong indicators for assessing impacts and performances of mining sites thus...

Integrated assessment (IA) aims at the integration of knowledge from diverse sources as part of the policy-making process. Frequently, IA exploits computer models and other information and communication technology (ICT) in ways that are accessible to and used by only a limited range of...

This paper presents a modelling methodology and empirical implementation for "greened-economy GDP" estimation, based on the complementarity of economic production and ecological services as sources of economic well-being. The following definition of an environmentally adjusted national product...

This paper discusses the policy uses, and limits, of three key concepts for defining 'environmentally adjusted' macro-economic indicators for a national economy. The first is change in the system boundary, an enlargement of the scope of national economic accounting to include natural assets;...
