摘要：Comprehensive wealth growth rates, the ratio of comprehensive investment to real GDP, and the gap between gross and comprehensive investment ratios were used to assess the sustainability of Ethiopian economy from 1990 to 2008. The average per capita comprehensive wealth growth rate was 0.55% and -1%, respectively, with and without human capital investment considered. However, b oth gro wth rates are lower than the 2.2% baseline scenario (per capita real GDP) growth rate. The results imply that economic policies sho uld be integrated with demographic and environmental policies. It is through the integration of these policies that the robust economic growth rate achieved for the last seven consecutive years in the country can overwhelm the rents from the depletions of forests, minerals, and damages due to global and local environmental externalities
