About Makswell
MAKSWELL project proposes to extend and harmonise the indicators able to capture the main characteristics of the beyond-GDP approach proposing a new framework that includes them in the evaluation of the public policies. The main goals of the project can be summarized in the following four objectives:
-
Building up a database for a wide set of EU countries that selects and harmonizes the national framework on well-being as well as the available SDG indicators. Attention will be paid to the micro-macro approach derived inside the national account framework and to the opportunities for extending the SNA beyond GDP;
-
Improving the database both in relation to the timeliness and to the integration with big data measures and the methodologies able to reach these extensions;
-
Extending the geographical dimension especially focusing on the possible estimates of people vulnerability either looking at the measurement of poverty and inequality or to the measurement of regional inflation;
-
Using the extended database for policy evaluation at macro level and for building up two comprehensive pilot studies for Italy and Hungary.
