Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: January, 19 , 2005

This study, relying on an economic-theoretical approach to index numbers, proposes a framework for incorporating environmental indicators to the measurement of human well-being. Furthermore this study also proposes an improvement index which alleviates the well-known deficiency of across-time comparison of the deprivation index. The advantage of the proposed index is that it does not require normative judgement in the selection of weights to aggregate over constituent indices. [Research Paper No. 2005/05]
