Measuring Nations’ Economic Performance The Report of the Commission on Economic Performance and Social Progress F. Gerard Adams
Volume 10, Number 4, 2009, pages 1 - 4
The Report of the Commission on Economic Performance and Social Progress considers the issues of establishing a broader measure of human well-being than the per capita GDP currently used. The report evaluates the possibilities for expanding the GDP concept and other measures of well-being, and for evaluating sustainability. The Commission recognises that it will not be possible to rely on one measure, recommending the use of a dashboard of various measures, including adjusted net saving.
