Abstract

In the actual economic situation the environment has an important role in the nation’s wealth. In this paper we propose a novel methodology to measure the national socio-environmental capital based on Intellectual Capital. Using this methodology we make a ranking of 71 countries considering this socioenvironmental capitalto analyzethe environmental performance of each country. Moreover, we compare the ranking obtained with others generally used in the literature verify that these rankings are similar based on the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The results show a highest position of the Northern Europe countries and United States.
