Summary
The development of reliable methodologies for assessing the harmful effects of production and consumption of goods and services on the environment is a major challenge to the scientific community. Along with the existing indicators, indexes and other measurement tools, in recent years relevant quantitative methods for evaluating these influences have become increasingly popular and much used. By increasing the reliability of these methods the topical question of how they are integrated into the assessment of eco-efficiency of goods and services has been put forward. The aim of this project is to offer a scheme using external environmental costs in the evaluation of eco-efficiency.

For that purpose, after a detailed analysis of the results taken from various sources, this project offers the basic steps of the integrated circuit, as well as different approaches for assessing eco-efficiency at macro level, and the software used for this purpose and support systems for decision-making. Computations have been performed and concrete results have been obtained.
