Economische prestaties worden wereldwijd gemeten via het B.B.P.. Het B.B.P. wordt bovendien ook algemeen gehanteerd als barometer van onze welvaart. Toch is dit meetinstrument onderhevig aan een groot aantal beperkingen waardoor het vaak een vertekend beeld geeft van de welvaart die mensen werkelijk ondervinden. In deze Masterproef worden de voordelen en de nadelen van het Bruto Binnenlands Product als welvaartsindicator toegelicht. De nadelen omvatten zowel de moeilijkheden bij de berekening ervan als kritieken op het B.B.P. in het algemeen. Daarna worden enkele alternatieve economische indicatoren, welvaartsindicatoren en duurzame indicatoren voorgesteld. Vervolgens wordt een vergelijkende studie uitgevoerd waarbij wordt nagegaan of de evolutie van het B.B.P. over de laatste 20 jaar een goede indicator is voor de evolutie van de welvaart en levensstandaard van een land en of die evolutie dezelfde snelheid heeft als die van het Bruto Binnenlands Product. Deze studie wordt toegepast voor België, China, Duitsland, Zuid-Afrika, Brazilië en Japan.

Joseph Stiglitz is one of the world's greatest economists. He has made fundamental contributions to economic theory in areas such as inequality, the implications of imperfect and asymmetric information, and competition, and he has been a major figure in policy making, a leading public intellectual, and a remarkably influential teacher and mentor. This collection of essays influenced by Stiglitz's work celebrates his career as a scholar and teacher and his aspiration to put economic knowledge in the service of creating a fairer world.Toward a Just Society brings together a range of essays whose breadth reflects how Stiglitz has shaped modern economics. The contributions to this volume, all penned by high-profile authors who have been guided by or collaborated with Stiglitz over the last five decades, span microeconomics, macroeconomics, inequality, development, law and economics, and public policy. Touching on many of the central debates and discoveries of the field and providing insights on the directions that academic economics could take in the future, Toward a Just Society is an extraordinary celebration of the many paths Stiglitz has opened for economics, politics, and public life.

Macroeconomics would not be what it is today without Edmund Phelps. This book assembles the field's leading figures to highlight the continuing influence of his ideas from the past four decades. Addressing the most important current debates in macroeconomic theory, it focuses on the rates at which new technologies arise and information about markets is dispersed, information imperfections, and the heterogeneity of beliefs as determinants of an economy's performance. The contributions, which represent a breadth of contemporary theoretical approaches, cover topics including the real effects of monetary disturbances, difficulties in expectations formation, structural factors in unemployment, and sources of technical progress. Based on an October 2001 conference honoring Phelps, this incomparable volume provides the most comprehensive and authoritative account in years of the present state of macroeconomics while also pointing to its future. The fifteen chapters are by the editors and by Daron Acemoglu, Jess Benhabib, Guillermo A. Calvo, Oya Celasun, Michael D. Goldberg, Bruce Greenwald, James J.
