Abstract
The accounting for pollution-related activities within a social accounting matrix (SAM) framework is useful for analysis of environment-related issues. In this chapter, we describe the methodology one uses for accounting the same in a SAM framework. In other words, how to construct an environmentally extended SAM (ESAM), is spelt out in detail here. We have used this methodology to convert our constructed SAM into an ESAM. Basically, the ESAM presented in this chapter provides an integrated account for both economic transactions in monetary unit and flow of environmental substances in physical unit. Such integrated account in a consistent framework helps us to understand and quantify the linkages between economic activities and the flow of environmental substances.
