Abstract
The previous chapters have described a set of indicators about the quantity and the quality of natural and environmental resources and a few theoretical models for the analysis of growth with such resources. Before proceeding with theoretical analyses, one may want to inquire what are the possibilities of connecting these various issues, in order to provide an applied perspective to the study. This chapter will consider two questions. First, what is the relevance of the theoretical models for treating statistical information about natural and environmental resources? Do they suggest specific ways to organize such information and combine it with that typically considered in national accounts? Second, what are the best ways to connect the theoretical framework used in growth models with existing facts?
