Emeritus Prof Christopher May

ICYMI: Quite quietly, a couple of weeks ago the Office of National Statistics announced they were trialing a new measure of economic activity that was meant to meet some of the criticisms of GDP as a metric.

As many of you know I'm not that keen on GDP (preferring at the very least GDP per capita), so I have had a look & this is my initial assessment; its early days & there remain absences, but certainly something of interest!
