“…The approach attempts an exhaustive physical coverage of the movement (origins and uses) of most environmentally relevant materials induced by an economic region. Within the economy, PIOTs share the conceptual basis of older environmental inputoutput analyses by identifying physical material flows within the framework of monetary inputoutput tables and by including "production factor nature"-that is, "free" natural resources as a source of inputs and a sink for residuals from the economy (Radermacher and Stahmer 1998). Material flows examined vary in aggregation level from the bulk materials of b-MFA to inputs and residuals analyzed as elements or simple chemical compounds.…”

“…Based on these theoretical fundaments, the German Federal Statistical Office has developed the framework for a "Green" Accounting System (Radermacher, Schafer & Seibel, 1995;Radermacher, 1998ah;Radermacher & Stahmer, 1998). The objective is to add meaningful modules to the traditional System of National Accounts which are designed to quantify the external (environmental) effects of economic activities.…”

“…Depending on the system borderlines, economic activities can be interpreted as a technical network aiming at the production of goods and services. In relation to GEEA, it is relevant to cover the material and energy flows caused by activities of the domestic economy (Radermacher & Stahmer, 1998).…”

“…A number of studies have attempted to explore it via both theories and demonstration (Hartwick 1990;Pearce and Atkinson 1993;Hamilton 1994Hamilton , 1995Hamilton , 1996Hamilton and Atkinson 1996;The World Bank 2003;Lin and Hope 2004). As Radermacher and Stahmer (1998) reported, the Federal Statistical Office is engaged in the development of a system of Environmental Economic Accounting (EEA). This will have five subject areas: (1) material, energy, and emission flow accounts, tied to the input-output accounts; (2) a geographic information system (GIS) on the use of land and space; (3) a set of indicators of the state of the environment; (4) environmental protection activities accounts; and (5) accounts of the imputed costs of achieving standards for sustainable use of the environment.…”
