“…The IEEM Platform has been used in various policy applications, including evaluating SDG strategies of the Guatemalan government (Banerjee et al, 2019a), impacts of strategies to reduced fuelwood consumption (Banerjee et al, 2019b) and various questions of tourism policy and investment (Banerjee et al, 2019d). Increasingly, IEEM is being applied by international and government institutions, including Central Banks, for the evaluation of public policy and investment (Quesada et al, 2019).…”

“…It is increasingly recognised that SEEA accounts can provide the robust and authoritative framing for environmental data for integration into standard economic models. For example, building on long established techniques of environmental-economic modelling (for a summary of work in this area see SEEA Applications and Extensions), the Inter-American Development Bank has been developing an Integrated Environmental-Economic Model (IEEM) to support project assessment in Latin America and the Caribbean [44].…”

Natural capital and its increasing scarcity have been at the heart of concerns over sustainability for many decades. This paper highlights the significant advances in accounting for the stocks and flows of natural capital that have taken place in the statistical community through the ongoing development and implementation of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA). Through description of the history and key components of the SEEA and through presentation of various examples of accounting from around the world, this paper demonstrates not only the theoretical advances but also the feasibility and relevance of SEEA based accounts to policy making. The increasing recognition of the threats of climate change and the importance of halting biodiversity loss and maintaining healthy ecosystems which provide essential contributions to people, make the implementation of the SEEA extremely timely and relevant in supporting policies that take into account the environment. There is now clear support from the official statistics community and a clear role for national statistical offices in using the SEEA to go “beyond GDP”. We can no longer afford to ignore our dependence on the environment, our natural capital. Accounting for it is part of the pathway forward.

“…Recently, with the publication of the first international standard for environmental statistics, the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting Central Framework (European Commission et al, 2012), it has become possible to integrate detailed environmental information into CGE models. The development of the Integrated Economic-Environmental Modelling (IEEM) Platform has important applications for tourism investment analysis where tourism demand is a function of natural capital stocks and environmental quality (Banerjee et al, 2016c(Banerjee et al, , 2019b. CGE models are commonly used to assess economic impact and as such, some of the key indicators reported are GDP or gross regional product.…”

Various methods have been applied to evaluating the economic viability of public investments in tourism. In this article, we capitalize on the strengths of computable general equilibrium and cost-benefit analytical techniques and develop an integrated approach to evaluating public investments in tourism. We apply the approach to the evaluation of a US$6.25 million investment in tourism in Uruguay from the perspective of a multilateral development bank and a beneficiary government. These perspectives differ in a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) due to the timing of the costs incurred. The integrated approach is powerful in that it captures first and subsequent rounds of investment impacts of benefits and costs; resource diversion and constraints are accounted for, and the estimation of benefits is consistent with the welfare economics underpinnings of CBA.
