Sarracino and O’Connor apply DEA to estimate well-being efficiency across 126 countries; Peroni, Pettinger, and Sarracino examine how well-being in the workplace affects labour productivity in 30 European countries; and DiMaria, Peroni, and Sarracino develop a productive well-being indicator incorporating subjective well-being and sustainability (adjusted net savings) using DEA on European data 2005-2018. Cette introduction synthétise les trois articles du symposium de la Partie II, tous écrits par des chercheurs de STATEC Research (division de recherche de l’Institut statistique national du Luxembourg). Sarracino et O’Connor appliquent l’AED pour estimer l’efficience du bien-être dans 126 pays; Peroni, Pettinger et Sarracino examinent comment le bien-être au travail affecte la productivité du travail dans 30 pays européens; et DiMaria, Peroni et Sarracino développent un indicateur de bien-être productif incorporant le bien-être subjectif et la durabilité (épargne nette ajustée) à l’aide de l’AED sur des données européennes 2005-2018.
