Short description:
senior economist at the national statistical office of Luxembourg (STATEC). Specialized on well-being studies with a focus on sustainable and inclusive economic growth. My studies lead me to argue for a shift from GDP as the preeminent measure of quality of life to well-being, and propose that societies should invest in the conditions for better social relations. Such a reorganization requires a new cultural movement, which I call neo-humanism.
