abstract: 'GDP, as a key parameter for macro-economic policy, has long been
|
|
|
|
criticized. One of the better known monetary alternatives to GDP is the
|
|
|
|
ISEW, a synthetic proxy of sustainable welfare. Theoretical and
|
|
|
|
methodological limitations of this indicator have been identified and
|
|
|
|
several refinements or extensions proposed, GPI for example. Building on
|
|
|
|
these approaches, this article presents a new composite flow-oriented
|
|
|
|
indicator directly comparable with GDP. The proposed Sustainable Welfare
|
|
|
|
Index (SWI) is calculated for the Italian case over the 1960-2014
|
|
|
|
period. The estimate of SWI over an extended period of fifty-four years,
|
|
|
|
provides evidence for a previously undetected ``threshold effect{''''} in
|
|
|
|
Italy by means of a flow-oriented indicator - unlike GDP, SWI per capita
|
|
|
|
stops increasing in 1991. Empirical results show that the level of
|
|
|
|
sustainable welfare in Italy stops growing mainly because of a rise in
|
|
|
|
income inequality, a decline in non-paid domestic work and a worsening
|
|
|
|
of the net fixed capital formation and net international investment
|
|
|
|
position.'
