Fields of study

Comment/Description

This course consists of two thematic blocks. In the first part of the course we will reflect on the relationship between economic growth, well-being and the environment. We focus on questions such as “To what extent does environmental quality contribute to well-being?” or “How does the relationship between income and well-being look like?” Within the second part of the course we will have a closer look into how progress and sustainability are being measured. This means that we will focus on alternative concepts for measuring the development and societal progress of countries and examine and identify strengths and weaknesses of the same. Finally, we will consider practical applications of alternative indicators to investigate their performance in the real world.
