Description

The article analyses the relation between consumption of commodities and the degradation of the natural environment. It is illustrated, how an input-output model can estimate a 'green profile' of the commodities. The method seems useful for life cycle analysis. Moreover, the model constitutes a basis for assigning an index of environmental consequences to each commodity and offers information on relative price changes resulting from a green tax reform.
