Study On Green Gdp Accounting Based On Analysis Of Environment Influence-Shijiazhuang

Green GDP is a scientific and sustainable concept. In order to get a overall GreenGDP, every aspect of the traditional GDP should be adjusted and the added value indifferent sectors which is caused at the cost of resource consumption and environmentdegradation should be deducted. However, the accounting of Green GDP is atremendous and complicated work, all the current researches, whether domestic or abroard,focus on one point or one aspect, and a mature and practicable accounting system is notavailable.Based on the result of State Environment Protection Administration’s recent researchand considering the actual situation of Shi Jia Zhuang, from a point of environmentpollution, the author has choosen several doable research indicators and try to build aaccounting system of Green GDP for Shi Jia Zhuang in a practicable scope in the nearfuture. The main purpose of this system is to calculate the influence of economic activitieson the environment, i.e. the influence of environment pollution on the GDP. It is easy tosee that the determination of environment degradation cost caused by exhaust of pollutantis the key step for adjustment of GDP accounting. Currently, there are two methods overthe world to determine the environment degradation cost:1. To calculate the cost tomaintain the environment not to be degraded, which is usually called ‘Maintaining CostMethod’. In this article, it is called ‘Virtual Treatment Cost Method’;2. To calculate thelost value caused by environment degradation, which is usually called ‘Assessment ofEconomic Loss Caused by Pollution’.The two methods, which are mutually complementary and supplement each other, arestudied separately in this research. The method ‘assumptive treatment cost’ is used toassess the minimum cost to be spent to maintain the environment and prevent pollution;the method of ‘pollution loss assessment’ is used to calculate the loss caused byenvironment pollution. The existing GDP will be adjusted by the two methods respectivelyto get the green GDP (EDP).The environment degradation cost of Shijiazhuang in2010, assessed by the methodof ‘assumptive treatment cost’, is approximately￥3,461,000,000. Adjust the GDP by thisenvironment degradation cost, the green GDP will be￥175,239,000,000. The assumptivetreatment cost takes1.94%of the whole GDP.The environment pollution loss of Shijiazhuang in2010, calculated by the method of‘pollution loss assessment’, is approximately￥8,780,000,000. Adjust the GDP by thisamount, the green GDP will be￥169,920,000,000. The environment pollution loss takes 4.91%of the whole GDP.Since both the two methods are complicated to be implemented in actual practice,this research has analyzed the influence of exhausted waste water, COD and SO2on theenvironment pollution, concluded the weighting coefficient of each of them onenvironment pollution, and finally get the environment parameters which are able toreflect/indicate the green GDP directly. This method will be used to assess the green GDPof one region in different years and assess the green GDP in different regions in the sameyear. It will provide theoretical foundation for establishing environment protection policiesand cadre assessment index.
