Arguing that the measurement of development cannot be value-free, the authors assert that if indicators of development are to have policy relevance, they must be assessed on the basis of the social objectives in question. This study develops indicators that are sensitive to both the level and the distribution of individuals? capabilities. The idea of the social welfare function, defined in income space, is extended to the concept of the social well-being function, defined in capability space. Through empirical analysis from selected developing countries, with a particular focus on Brazil, the authors shape techniques appropriate to the analysis of development in different dimensions. The focus of this evidence-based policy analysis is to evaluate alternative policies affectingthe capacities of people to enjoy a better life. . 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aSocial choice 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aSocial Choice and Welfare 606 $aPublic Policy 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 0$aSocial choice. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aEconometrics. 615 24$aSocial Choice and Welfare. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 676 $a338.9 700 $aKakwani$b Nanak$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0249656 702 $aSon$b Hyun Hwa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254875803321 996 $aSocial Welfare Functions and Development$92240013 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01713oas 2200625 a 450 001 9910146432603321 005 20251203191142.0 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2580756-0 035 $a(OCoLC)228119746 035 $a(CONSER) 2010201990 035 $a(CKB)1000000000751069 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000751069 100 $a20040809a20029999 sy a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aJournal of leadership education $eJOLE 210 $aHays, KS $cAssociation of Leadership Educators$d2002- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $a"A project of the Association of Leadership Educators." 311 08$a1552-9045 517 3 $aJOLE 606 $aLeadership$vPeriodicals 606 $aLeadership$xStudy and teaching$vPeriodicals 606 $aLeadership$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00994701 606 $aLeadership$xStudy and teaching$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00994731 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aLeadership 615 0$aLeadership$xStudy and teaching 615 7$aLeadership. 615 7$aLeadership$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a303.34 712 02$aAssociation of Leadership Educators 801 0$bNz 801 1$bUV0 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bHEBIS 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bCUS 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bSRU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bCUS 801 2$bUAB 801 2$bOCLCL 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910146432603321 996 $aJournal of leadership education$92132636 997 $aUNINA
