Rational Development as a Sustainable Progress Welfare Vector: A Cross‐Country Analysis

Abstract

This paper aims to incorporate welfare into sustainable development by arguing that sustainability should be scaled on rationality and safety premises. The paper describes the manner in which sustainable development principles have been distorted over time and the need for an enrichment of the concept with original ideas based on safety and rationality in development that would lead to an actual consideration of individual welfare. To this end, safety and rationality components are described, as they are regarded as requirements of sustainable development, and the rationality component is further analyzed. The methodology allows the building of an index of rationality for the 2007–2013 research interval, which attempts to capture the complexity of the rationality dimension of sustainability. The index of rationality is applied to specific circumstances from different countries and is used on a cross‐country analysis to determine the progress of the member states of the European Union on the sustainability road.

Building a Sustainable Healthcare Model: A Cross-Country Analysis

“…Therefore, the selection of factors was limited by the available reliable data. Moreover, ISH does not claim to be a perfect index, as this is impossible [44,45], but it represents a rigorous, suggestive, and relevant index to be used in comparison over time and in space (cross-countries analyses performed over time). Despite the limitations, the ISH provides important insights into the finding of weak and strong points of a certain country in terms of healthcare, and the identification of specific measures to be taken to improve a given situation.…”

Implementation of sustainable development goal 8 in European Union countries–A measurement concept and a multivariate comparative analysis

Marketing social, indicadores de bienestar y ODS. Análisis de la cuenta oficial del gobierno de España @desdelamoncloa

“…Diversos estudios han investigado el bienestar y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible desde varios enfoques. Froding et al (2007) analizaron los aspectos que influyen en una ciudad saludable y sostenible, otros como los Asheim (2010); Durana et al (2015); Costanza et al (2016); Mikulcic, Klemes y Duic (2016); Momete (2017) y Di Maria (2019), estudiaron la relación entre bienestar y desarrollo sostenible. Costanza et al (2016) relacionan los ODS con un nuevo indicador de bienestar, el «SWI», compuesto de tres elementos: Contribución Económica Neta, Capital Natural y Capital Social.…”
