Research interests
Teule's PhD dissertation focuses on alternative measures of
economic progress. There is quite a societal momentum to move
'beyond' Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as main economic measure,
but for all sorts of reasons alternative/complementary
indicators don't seem to reach the most important institutions,
decision makers and media. The dissertation will assess the
conceptual and institutional barriers they face.
Other research interests are:
- Philosophy of economics (epistemology, methodology,
ethics)
- Economics of the European Union
- Sustainability
- Political economy
- Liberalism
