On November 9th (Tuesday), a public lecture at Civic University, "Thinking about GDP (Gross Domestic Product)-Is it a monosashi that measures the "goodness (richness)" of society?" Was offered online.

　Professor ISOGAI Akinori of Faculty of Economics, TUFS, explained what is the index of gross domestic product (GDP) and whether it can be said to be an index of "goodness" and "richness" in society. If there is an index that can replace GDP, I have specifically explained what it is. Based on the materials distributed in advance, the lecture proceeded with examples. The lecture was held online using Zoom, and the students listened very enthusiastically. It was very fruitful, not only to talk unilaterally but also to have a question and answer time.

　The open lecture for FY2021 will be the last of this course. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of this year's courses were held online. I think that everyone who attended had a different experience from the face-to-face course. I don't know what it will be next year, but we plan to hold an open lecture. When the time comes, we will inform you on our website, etc., so we look forward to your participation.
