La Francia propone to revolutionize the international economic statistics: the welfare of people together, to measure economic output. Monday, September 14, the first anniversary of the fall of Lehman Brothers, the French National Commission for the measurement of economic performance of President Nicolas Sarkozy has delivered its final report. The key idea of \u200b\u200bthe document, signed by Nobel laureates Joseph Stiglitz and Amartya Sen and Jean-Paul Fitoussi, is to put more emphasis on the measurement of well-being of populations rather than on economic output. Gross domestic product (GDP) is preferred so the net national product (NNP), which takes into account the effects of the depreciation capital in all its dimensions: natural, human, etc..
It's about putting an end to the aberrations of GDP, for example, increases in natural disasters because it accounts for the costs of reconstruction, but not the costs of the disaster itself. This "blindness" of statistics based on GDP is considered among the causes of the current crisis, while among the solutions is shown the construction of a statistical system that enhances the performance of less than the short term and long-term sustainability. The French Presidency has adopted the content of the report and propose to start this fall in all international fora. ( Le Monde 14:09:09)
