Methodological notes
Historical data comes from official U.S. institutions (FRED, BLS, BEA, EIA). Forecast values (dashed lines) are produced with SARIMAX models, the international standard recommended by the IMF. Environmental accounts follow the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) framework.
Our Analytical Frameworks: Bridging Economics and Ecology
Transitioning to a regenerative circular economy requires shifting from a "take-make-waste" paradigm to models that prioritize ecosystem health alongside financial growth. By combining IMF macroeconomic foundations with the UN SEEA Central Framework, our models translate complex environmental and economic data into actionable intelligence for circular development.
Macroeconomics: Traditional
Focuses on aggregate indicators like GDP growth, inflation, employment dynamics, and trade balances. While foundational, it traditionally ignores ecological degradation and treats the depletion of natural resources as income.
Macroeconomics: Environmental Accounts
Measures Natural Capital, Net Ecological Domestic Product (Green GDP), and Material Flow Accounts (MFA). It provides the infrastructure to monitor Tapio Decoupling, ensuring economic growth actively separates from resource extraction and emissions.
Microeconomics: Traditional
Evaluates firm-level efficiency, cost structures, pricing elasticity, market competition, and ROI. In linear models, this approach often externalizes environmental and social impacts.
Microeconomics: Environmental Accounts
Integrates True Cost Accounting (TCA) and Environmental Life Cycle Costing (ELCC). By monetizing externalities and valuing ecosystem services, it reveals the true profitability and resilience of circular business models.
From Linear Economy to Circular & Regenerative Models
The dominant linear economic model—extract, produce, consume, dispose—is a primary driver of ecological degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change. The SEEA framework provides the statistical infrastructure to measure this transition.
Material Flow Accounting (MFA)
SEEA flow accounts track domestic material consumption (DMC) per unit of GDP, recycling rates, and waste generation. These indicators directly measure circularity at the macro level.
Decoupling Analysis
The Tapio decoupling index measures whether GDP growth is separating from resource use and emissions. Strong decoupling (GDP ↑, energy ↓) is the goal of regenerative economies.
Natural Capital Accounting
SEEA-EA (Ecosystem Accounting) values ecosystem services—carbon sequestration, water filtration, pollination—integrating them into national accounts.
Green GDP (PINE)
Mexico's Net Ecological Domestic Product subtracts environmental degradation and natural resource depletion from traditional GDP. In 2024, PINE was 25.7 billion pesos (76.6% of GDP).
The transition from linear to circular models requires integrated measurement. SEEA provides the bridge between traditional macroeconomic indicators and the environmental accounts needed to monitor regenerative progress. Our dashboards operationalize this integration.
