International Comparisons of Living Standards by Equivalent Incomes*
提出一种基于人均GDP并修正收入流动、劳动、失业风险、健康预期寿命、家庭人口和收入不平等的生活水平衡量方法，应用于24个OECD国家，所得排名与GDP排名差异显著。
Abstract We propose a measure of living standards for international comparisons. Based on GDP per capita, the measure incorporates corrections for international flows of income, labor, risk of unemployment, healthy life expectancy, household demography and inequalities. The method for comparing populations that differ in some non‐income dimension consists of computing the equivalent variation of income that would make each population indifferent between its current situation and a reference situation with respect to the non‐income dimension. This is applied to 24 OECD countries. The obtained ranking of countries differs substantially from the GDP ranking.
