Stiglitz, J. E., Sen, A., and Fitoussi, J.-P. (2009). Report by the Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress. Paris.
Commissioned by the French government in 2008, the report examines the limits of GDP as an indicator of economic performance and social progress. Its recommendations include looking at income and consumption from the household’s point of view, considering wealth together with income, giving more prominence to distribution, and assessing sustainability through stocks of capital. The wiki cites it as one of the official records that the gauge misreads household conditions, made seventeen years before the UN dashboard in Counting What Counts.
