Dear Prof. Costanza:
(1) Many thanks for your msg
(ATTACHMENT I below).
Thanks also for your excellent paper (Reference (a) above). I read it
with great interest.
Dear Hans, WS and GEWS/ECOWAS
Colleagues:
(2) If you have not yet, pls consider to utilize the
GPI in your socio-economic-energy-environment simulation models (References (a)
and (b) above).
(3) If you do so, your work would be proactive rather than reactive as his
paper — with your simulation model, and hence more appropriate for your
policy analysis and consultation to decision-makers.
Keep in touch.
Best, Tak

Hi All.
I just wanted to draw your attention to a recent paper (attached) I co-authored
that calculates a global GPI (Genuine Progress Indicator). GPI takes
income distribution into account, along with household and volunteer work and
the costs of natural, social, and human capital depletion. This is the first
synthesis of national GPI studies to get a global estimate.
We got some pretty interesting results showing that global GPI/capita peaked in
1978. This means that globally the external costs of economic growth have
outweighed the benefits since 1978. We also found that globally,
GPI/capita does not increase beyond a GDP/capita of around $6,500/capita.
Take a look and forward to others who may be interested.
All the best
Bob
