• Macroeconomic and program policymakers are presently not well equipped with analytical methods for examining the environmental effects of their recommendations and actions. This paper proposes a framework for examining macropolicy effects on incentives and constraints in the environmental sector; and approach for adapting policy cost-benefit analysis to incorporate sustainability concerns. A simple model is constructed, and used to show how the environment may be incorporated as a sector of the macroeconomy. Aggregate demand policy, sectoral policy, and distributional issues are examined within the context of this simple model.
