Measuring what counts for economic and social performance

Making the right choices for people, societies, and the planet means looking beyond GDP at things like inequalities, subjective well-being, economic insecurity, trust, environmental sustainability and more.
To help advance this important agenda, the OECD-hosted High Level Expert Group on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress (HLEG) has recently released a two-volume report emphasising that better metrics reflecting real people and their aspirations will help improve policy outcomes.
Joseph E. Stiglitz, Jean-Paul Fitoussi and Martine Durand will present the main outcomes of the reports.
Speakers:

• Joseph E. Stiglitz, Professor at Columbia University
• Jean-Paul Fitoussi, Emeritus Professor of Economics at Sciences Po and Luiss University
• Martine Durand, OECD Chief Statistician and Director of Statistics and Data
• François Bourguignon, Emeritus Professor at Paris School of Economics
• Yann Algan, Dean of the School of Public Affairs and Professor of Economics at Sciences Po.
