Abstract
Many economists believe that the world's forests are not valued properly in economic terms. Valuation problems exist for many of the diverse goods and services that forests provide. Some of these forests outputs are traded in commercial markets but are underestimated, others are traded in informal markets or are not traded at all and so their economic value is often ignored. It seems clear that even when environmental values are recognized, they may not be measured or used to promote efficient resource management. On the other hand, externalities associated with destructive timber extraction practices are not taking into account. The objective of this paper is to analyze the problems found in the traditional National Account system, and to study the treatment of non-market forest assets in the System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting proposed by the United Nations.
