Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This bookdiscusseshow to measure the level of development of an economy, particularly,the task ofranking economies in termsof theirdevelopment.In this context, development isdefinedas an increasein people'slevel of wellbeing.Thebookemphasises that wellbeing is a multidimensionalconcept, and that it is important to ask how equitably the fruits of development are distributed,and as such it focuseson multidimensional, inequality-sensitive development ranking. Ratherthan using variousspecific development indices, which would lead to different development rankings fora country,the book proposesa dominance approach,which formulatesconditions under which two economies can be ranked unambiguously, making it valid forall reasonable development indices. With the help of illustrative examples usingreal-world data, it demonstratesthat such unambiguous rankings are possible, and that the proposed approach can be used to complement traditionalapproaches.An invaluable resource for researchers working in the field of development,the book willalso appeal topractitioners engaged in measuring development.An excerpt from the book's Foreword:'[This book] is a comprehensive and valuable contribution to the literature on themeasurement of inequality and the use of such measurement in the assessment of socialwelfare.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book discusses how to measure the level of development of an economy, particularly, the task of ranking economies in terms of their development. In this context, development is defined as an increase in people's level of wellbeing. The book emphasises that wellbeing is a multidimensional concept, and that it is important to ask how equitably the fruits of development are distributed, and as such it focuses on multidimensional, inequality-sensitive development ranking. Rather than using various specific development indices, which would lead to different development rankings for a country, the book proposes a dominance approach, which formulates conditions under which two economies can be ranked unambiguously, making it valid for all reasonable development indices. With the help of illustrative examples using real-world data, it demonstrates that such unambiguous rankings are possible, and that the proposed approach can be used to complement traditional approaches. An invaluable resource for researchers working in the field of development, the book will also appeal to practitioners engaged in measuring development.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 252 pp. Englisch.
