About
The Commission on the measurement of economic performance and social progress (also known as the Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi Commission) was created in 2008 on the initiative of the French government.
Its aim is to identify the limits of GDP as an indicator of economic performance and social progress, to consider additional information required for the production of a more relevant picture, to discuss how to present this information in the most appropriate way, and to check the feasibility of measurement tools proposed by the Commission. The Commission's work is not focused on France, nor on developed countries.
