В первой части статьи автор рассматривает монетарные индикаторы общественного благосостояния. Показано, какими методами количественной оценки агрегированного богатства и благополучия помимо традиционного показателя ВВП располагает современная экономическая теория, обсуждаются недостатки этих методов. Кроме того, автор показывает, какие меры благосостояния адекватны в динамическом контексте: исследуются проблемы межвременного анализа благосостояния с использованием показателя чистого национального продукта (ЧНП) для целей политики устойчивого развития и обеспечения судьбы будущих поколений.

The first part of the paper is devoted to the monetary indicators of social welfare. It is shown which methods of quantitative estimating the aggregate wealth and well-being are available in the modern economic theory apart from the traditional GDP measure. The limitations of the methods are also discussed. The author shows which measures of welfare are adequate in the dynamic context: he considers the problems of intertemporal welfare analysis using the Net National Product (NNP) for the sustainability policy and in the context of concern for well-being of the future generations.
