A synthesis of Beyond-GDP metrics for Wellbeing, Inclusion, and Sustainability

including a deep dive into EU metrics and their role in governance

This review offers a synthesis of the most important Beyond-GDP metrics by using a conceptual framework based on the Brundtland and Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi report. Our authors focus on the similarities, and not the differences between metrics, and seeks to categorise Beyond-GDP metrics stemming from diverse schools of thought. This review also contains an in-depth discussion of eleven dashboards that are used in European policymaking to illuminate the potential capacities of metrics to effectively steer policymaking into desirable directions.
