Measuring Sustainability of Liaoning Province Based on the Genuine Progress Indicator Method

Abstract:

The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is an indicator of measuring sustainability like Green GDP. Apply it to Liaoning Province, the paper evaluates Liaoning’s GPI from 1978 to 2011. GPI, Per Capita GPI and GDP of Liaoning are compared with each other. It is concluded that GDP and Per Capita GDP of Liaoning grow much faster than GPI and Per Capita GPI. Grouped all components of GPI into three categories (economy, environment and Social), it shows that social and environmental development lags behind economic growth in Liaoning.
