Indicator Fact Sheet
Assessment made on 01 Nov 2004
External costs are difficult to estimate (see table 5), and there is currently no unique, commonly accepted methodology for estimating external costs. Results of international studies vary widely due to differences in statistics and normative choices underlying results, see CE 2003. External cost estimates range from 4 (ECMT, 1998b) to 8% (Infras, 2000) of GDP for the EU-15 countries to 14% of GDP for Central and Eastern Europe in 1995 (OECD, 2003). In figure 2 the distribution of marginal external costs over modes and cost components is shown.
