  22. GDP per capita has a strong influence on the HDI. 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  23. How important is GDP per capita in Human Development? 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  27. It seems that GDP per capita plays only a marginal role in Human Development? 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  28. But, GDP per capita growth is important for people to live comfortably! Is that true? 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  29. Let us take a look at the GINI Index, which is a measure of unequal distribution of wealth • Gini Index of 100 means absolute inequality • Gini Index of zero means absolute equality 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  30. Gini Index must be close to 0 for equal distribution of wealth Source: Human Development Report 2007/2008 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  32. Socially responsible GDP per capita index GDPI_GI= GDPI*IEQI where ln(GiniIndex) - ln(20) IEQI = 1 - ln(100) - ln(20) and ln(GDPper capita) - ln(100) GDPI = ln(40000) - ln(100) 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  33. Socially responsible GDP per capita • Life Expectancy • Literacy Rate • School Enrollment 1/3 1/3 1/3 Socially Responsible Human Development Index 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  40. Environmentally Responsible Index ERI= CEFI*ECRI where ln(30) - ln(CO2pc) CO2I = ln(30) - ln(0.1) and ln(30000) - ln(Elecpc) ElecI = ln(30000) - ln(10) 11 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  42. The modified HDI is a good index? No, it is not. 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  43. Life Expectancy - 25 Life Index = 85 - 25 Education Index = 2 Adult Literacy 2 Enrollment + 3 100 3 100 The biggest problem with HDI is how the indices are defined. 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  44. GDPI_GI= GDPI*IEQI ln(GDP per capita) - ln(100) GDP Index = ln(40000) - ln(100) ln(Gini Index) - ln(20) IEQI = 1 - ln(100) - ln(20) Socially responsible GDP index 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  45. Environmentally Responsible Index ERI= CEFI*ECRI where ln(30) - ln(CO2pc) CO2I = ln(30) - ln(0.1) and ln(30000) - ln(Elecpc) ElecI = ln(30000) - ln(10) 11 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini

  46. What is the problem? sustainable No limit is placed on GDP per capita, CO2 emissions and Electricity consumption 18 Jan 2008 R. Shanthini
