Abstract

Standard economic indexes intending to capture the wealth of nations fail to capture the importance of natural resources for national economic development. In order to overcome this shortcoming, the World Bank have implemented an analytical framework taking account of natural capital as a component of the total wealth of countries. In this paper we implement the accounting framework of the World Bank for the evaluation of new-Caledonia natural capital and of its contribution to the total wealth of this island. Following our computations, new-Caledonia has a strong natural capital endowment, making it similar to other rental economies. In order to capture the peculiarities of the natural capital of new-Caledonia, this paper also expand the World Bank methodology and deliver a new extended evaluation of new-Caledonia natural capital.
