Nor do they fully account  for the fact that some resources are being depleted in achieving the  living standards that we enjoy today. This failure is important,  because policy-makers are guided by the changes in macroeconomic  indicators such as GNP. Moreover such indicators are not a good guide  to the sustainability of present practices of consumption and  production. \u003cbr\u003e  This book provides practical estimates of one key area of neglect in  the present national accounts - the measurement of  environmental damages. The book sets out the methodology for making  such estimates and then applies it to data from four countries:  Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and the UK. The results show what can  be achieved in the way of consistent damage estimates and what the key  problems are.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-02-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792356004\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792356004\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4597-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 371\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358964117644,"sku":"9780792356004","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792356004.jpg?v=1755099544","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792356004","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
