This analysis represents the scale of potential impacts on the economy and not benefit/cost ratios.

The social and environmental impacts that are not counted within the GDP impact measure include, most notably, personal time savings and emissions impacts.

The second argument is related to proprietary information and specific human capital. By concentrating ownership, decision rights can be given to individuals who possess specific knowledge (Jensen and Meckling, 1992; Christie, Joye, and Watts, 1993). One benefit of co-locating decision rights with specific knowledge is that the leakage of the specific knowledge to competitors is prevented and the transferring cost of the specific knowledge is avoided. This benefit is great in East Asia where political lobbying activities are common and lucrative.

· Valuation of environmental assets, goods, or services. "Valuation" refers to the process of deriving a monetary value for things which are not sold in a market; for example, fuelwood gathered in the forest, water filtration provided by a wetland, or biodiversity resources which could provide new medicines in the future. Valuation is an essential input into both social cost-benefit analysis and some approaches to environmental accounting. However valuation is only one element in the construction of environmental accounts; it is not the same as the construction of the accounts.
