摘要
Mainstream national accounting indices have been debated on the exclusion of nonmarket services, such as ecosystem services. Here we introduce the practice of using the gross economic-ecological product (GEEP) in China to monitor economic growth taking into account ecosystem services. We show that GEEP grew by 6.4% annually from 2015 to 2018 in China, slower than the annualized GDP growth rate of 6.7%. Great spatial heterogeneity of GEEP growths indicate the imbalanced regional development of the economy and ecosystems. As a policy instrument, the GEEP provides a tool to benchmark and monitor economic growth within the means of nature.
