继前不久国家统计局宣布了旨在提高GDP统计数据质量的四项措施之后,近期又有两则关于GDP的消息比较引人注目:一是12月初,国家环保总局副局长潘岳透露,国家统计局和环保总局正在就绿色GDP核算体系进行联合攻关,出台后的绿色GDP核算体系将与现行的干部考核体系挂钩;二是国家统计局12月23日宣布,从2004年1月1日起,各地区要统一用常住人口计算人均GDP。这两则消息引发了专家学者及传媒界的又一波集体大讨论,“GDP应与干部考核彻底脱钩”、“幸福指数论”等诸多新颖精辟的观点不时见诸报端 Following the announcement by the National Bureau of Statistics of four measures aimed at improving the quality of GDP statistics recently recently, two more news about GDP came into the spotlight: First, in early December, Pan Yue, deputy director of SEPA, revealed that national statistics Bureau and the State Environmental Protection Administration are on the green GDP accounting system for joint research, after the introduction of the green GDP accounting system will be linked with the existing cadre examination system; Second, the National Bureau of Statistics announced on December 23, starting from January 1, 2004, All regions should use their resident population to calculate per capita GDP. These two news sparked another collective debate among experts, scholars and the mass media. Many novel and brilliant ideas such as “GDP should be completely decoupled from cadre examination” and “happiness index theory” have been reported from time to time
