Happiness Economics
Gross National Well-being (GNW) Index
The Institute is recognized for the introduction of the first GNW Index for managing and measuring sustainable socioeconomic development in 2005. Inspired by the "Gross National Happiness (GNH)" phrase, coined by the fourth King of Bhutan in 1972, Med Jones designed the GNW Index to overcome the limitations of traditional economic development frameworks and metrics. The Index is considered a breakthrough in public policy innovation for the following two contributions:
1. Prior to the Index, there were many psychological surveys and research papers on the topic of happiness; however, few economists and government officials, if any, took seriously, the concept of happiness as a development policy; this was mainly due to the difficulty of measuring the subjective nature of "feelings". Mainstream economists did not consider happiness a main policy objective. Few recognized the limitations of traditional economics and called for the development of alternative model, but they could not implement their vision due to the lack of a practical tool that integrates subjective and objective measures. The Index was the first published management framework to quantify happiness and integrate it into an econometric tool along other dimensions of health, political, socioeconomic and environmental well-being.
2. International agencies and governments had large collections of statistical indicators that were used in silos to measure each individual sector performance; government officials could not "connect the dots" to make effective and efficient sustainable development decisions. The Index provided the first integrated 360-degree tool for economists and policy makers to effectively measure and manage the well-being of their citizens.
The GNW framework and Index opened the door for several international initiatives. The new science of happiness economics is filled with new and exciting developments that promise to advance well-being policy-making all over the world.
