What is it about?
Our first idea is to say that GDP alone is not a good measure of sustainable development. We propose additional indicators from the economic, social and environmental fields in order to achieve a more comprehensive picture. Then we construct an empirical model to measure efficiency in achieving sustainable development in OECD countries. We combine a normative and an emprical approach.

Why is it important?
If you are interested in knowing the Catholic perspective on sustainable development, this paper can be really helpfull. We try to put in context Catholic social teaching with current economic theories on sustainable development
Perspectives
The Catholic perspective about economic sustainability can and should be shared and discussed with persons or different beliefs and points of view. I think this paper is an opportunity to engage in this kind of conversation
