摘要：We estimate and compare two empirical measures of the weak
sustainability of an economy for the first time: the change in augmented green net
national product (GNNP), and the interest on augmented genuine savings (GS).
Yearly calculations are given for each measure for Scotland during 1992-99.
Augmentation means including, using projections to 2020, production possibilities
enabled by exogenous technical progress or changing terms of trade. In passing,
we clarify the treatment of environmental expenditures in green accounting. The
change in augmented GNNP and interest on augmented GS are both always
positive, showing no sustainability problem for Scotland; but the former greatly
exceeds the latter, showing an unresolved problem with the theory.
