Required reading from the Sustainability Science book
Here is the original draft of the Metrics chapter from the book, plus a just-completed up-date of the application of the method to a number of national development trajectories (Arrow et al., 2010). I suggest that you read the chapter until you come to the "application", then shift to the Arrow paper.
- 3_3_O10_Evaluation metrics_090311.pdf
- This is the original draft of the metrics chapter for the book. Read it up to the 'application' section, then shift to the new Arrow et al 2010 paper (next) for a worked example of applying the metrics in a comparative study of development trajectories.
- Arrow et al 2010. Sustainability and the Measurement of Wealth
- This is a just completed draft by a team of leading scholars who use a version of the metrics framework sketched in our chapter to compare the development trajectories of a sample of countries.
