This book investigates the integration of environmental data into social accounting matrices to provide a comprehensive framework for measuring economic and ecological sustainability. The authors, Pablo Martínez de Anguita and John E. Wagner, draw upon established input-output economic models and natural resource economics to construct a methodology for regional economic analysis. By bridging the gap between traditional economic accounting and ecosystem services, the text argues for a more holistic approach to regional development and policy assessment.

Experts recognize this work as a technical resource for researchers and students focusing on regional economic modeling and environmental policy. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which serves as a foundational text for those seeking to apply complex accounting structures to sustainability challenges.
