Dimensions of Economic Well Being

Concept Present

“Typical Citizen” Average Flow of Current Income

Per Capita GDP or “Adjusted” Average Income Flow

Issues: Market transactions only? leisure & household production?

Dimensions of Economic Well Being

Concept Present

“Typical Citizen” Average Flow of Current Income

Diversity of Population

Distribution of Current Income

- Poverty and Inequality

Diminishing MUy

Less well-being if same total income is more unequally distributed

Dimensions of Economic Well Being

Concept Present Future

“Typical Citizen”

Average Flow of Effective Current Consumption

Aggregate Accumulation of Productive Stocks (broadly defined)

Issues: Average Income does not reveal savings rate

- assets include environment, Human Capital, R&D, net foreign.

Aggregate Savings

– not automatically optimal or sustainable

–preferences for sustainability differ among individuals

• INDEX OF ECONOMIC WELL-BEING (IEWB) = α1 PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION + α2 SUSTAINABILITY / ACCUMULATION+ α3 INCOME DISTRIBUTION / POVERTY+ α4 SECURITY

• ∑α = 1

– DIFFERING VALUES IMPLY DIFFERENT WEIGHTS• α = 0 is a (strong) value choice • GDP per capita sets α3 = α4 = 0 and assumes α2 is

optimal9

Current Debates mingle Facts & Values

• ECONOMIC WELL-BEING =α1 [ CONSUMPTION ]

+ α2 [ TOTAL WEALTH ]+ α3 [ DISTRIBUTION ]+ α4 [ SECURITY ]

• DIFFERENT VALUES IMPLY DIFFERENT WEIGHTS, BUT DOES TREND CHANGE?– how much does aggregate trend actually depend on value

weightings or on perceptions of fact trends?

– WHERE is the disagreement if assessment trends differs?
