Abstract
Many environmental problems can be directly related to flows of substances, materials and products through the economy. Several methods have been developed to study such flows, but these include no description of economic mechanisms (allocation, optimisation, substitution) or costs and benefits. Economic models, on the other hand, have focused mainly on abstract externalities and do not explicitly describe the flows and transformation of materials. Some form of integration of these two classes of model thus seems desirable.
