Abstract: | Although gross domestic product (GDP) is not intended to be a measure of social welfare, it is often used as such. One shortcoming as a welfare measure is that it fails to account for the non-marketed value of natural resource flows. The difference between societal welfare and GDP is labelled the "welfare gap". A model that accounts for both market and non-income market flows from natural capital is used to examine this gap. Societal welfare depends on private goods and the stock of natural capital. |
