The Report of the Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress ( 2009) has just been added to the Publications section of www.cefa.ie
The Commission was created in 2008 on the French government's initiative to look at increasing concerns relating to the adequacy of measures of economic performance, in particular those based on GDP figures. The commission’s aim was to identify the limits of GDP as an indicator of economic performance and social progress, to consider additional information required for the production of a more relevant picture, to discuss how to present this information in the most appropriate way, and to check the feasibility of measurement tools proposed by the Commission. The members of the Commission were renowned experts from universities, governmental and intergovernmental organisations worldwide.
