A GPI-Based Critique of The Economic Profile of the Lower Mississippi River: an Update
Abstract
The Genuine Progress Indicator, or GPI, is an alternative economic indicator that seeks to measure net economic welfare—the economic welfare that is gained by economic activity after the costs of producing that welfare (such as the costs of air pollution, water pollution, resource depletion, climate change, and the like) are deducted.

There are clear paths to increasing GPI (and human economic wellbeing) that have implications for environmental, economic and river-management policy- text
