Abstract
Green GDP is an indicator of sustainable development and environmental accounting via the green economy concept. This article aims to present a method for calculating green GDP according to the Herman E. Daly formula and its empirical calculation for Thailand. Such calculation relies on the output distance function via stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to estimate the elasticity of good and bad outputs before computing the shadow prices of air pollution and water pollution and calculating green GDP succession. The findings of this study indicate significant elasticity of around 0.1146 for air pollution and 0.1915 for water pollution. During a period 1997-2016, green GDP when focusing on the pollution cost and resource depletion reveals an average value of around 4,807,994.45 million baht (137,371.27 USD million) with an average gap from GDP approximately 33.59%. The average ratio output per pollution cost was around 2.99 million baht per mg/kg.
绿色GDP是可持续发展的指标，通过绿色经济理念进行环境核算。本文旨在提出一种根据Herman E. Daly公式计算绿色GDP的方法及其对泰国的实证计算。这种计算依赖于通过随机前沿分析(SFA)的产出距离函数来估计好产出和坏产出的弹性，然后再计算空气污染和水污染的影子价格，计算绿色GDP继承。本研究的结果表明，空气污染和水污染的显著弹性约为0.1146和0.1915。1997-2016年期间，考虑污染成本和资源消耗的绿色GDP平均约为4,807,99445万泰铢(137,37127万美元)，与GDP的平均差距约为33.59%。每污染成本的平均产出比率约为299万泰铢/毫克/公斤。
期刊介绍：
IJGE, a peer-reviewed international journal, proposes and fosters discussion on all aspects of Green Economics. It contributes to international research and practice in Green Economics with the aim of encouraging economic change and the positioning of Green Economics at the centre of the Economics disciplines. Green Economic theories and policies, tools, instruments and metrics are developed with the aim of offering practical and theoretical solutions and proposals to facilitate a change to the current economic models for the benefit of the widest number of people and the planet as a whole. IJGE focuses particularly on resource management, on meeting peoples’ needs and the impact and effects of international trends and how to increase social justice.
