Measuring global progress through subjective well-being
Progress could in principle be measured through the change over time of average scores of subjective well-being. However, the existing longitudinal data show little improvement. These survey results are intrinsically insensitive to developments over time, because SWB is typically evaluated relative to proximate, and therefore salient, reference points, such as peers or expectations based on rec...

if present trends continue, the world in 2000 will be more crowded, more polluted, less stable ecologically, and more vulnerable to disruption than the world we live in now. Serious stresses involving population, resources, and environment are clearly visible ahead. Despite greater material output, the world’s people will be poorer in many ways than they are today. The Global 2000 Report to the...
متن کاملDiversity and Technological Progress
This paper proposes a tractable model to study the equilibrium diversity of technological progress and shows that equilibrium technological progress may exhibit too little diversity (too much conformity), in particular, foregoing socially bene cial investments in alternativetechnologies that will be used at some point in the future. The presence of future innovations that will replace current...
متن کاملBehavior and Well - Being : Behavior and Well - Being
The welfare of White Leghorn hens housed in conventional (CON) and modifi ed (MOD) battery cages was assessed by evaluating behaviour during the laying period. CON (30x45cm) (n=84) and MOD (60x45cm) (n=84) each provided 450cm2 of fl oor space for 3 hens. MOD included a perch (30x5cm) and a nest box (NB) (24x45cm), providing an additional 360cm2 of nest area per bird. Location of lay was assesse...
متن کاملTechnological Progress and Sectoral Shares
This paper studies the effect of differences in the rate of technological progress between sectors on the relative sizes of those sectors in terms of revenues. There are two sectors: a stagnant sector, where productivity does not change over time, and a progressive sector, where costs decrease over time due to exogenous technological progress. We consider a conjectural variation approach to com...
