International Collaboration for Formulating Trans-Positional Capability Index

English page

The purpose of this program (Formulating Trans-Positional Capability Index) is to advance research networks with overseas institutions by sending and inviting junior researchers for a long term.
The capability approach, pioneered by Amartya Sen, looks at individual freedom and diverse opportunities, instead of one-dimensional measures such as GDP or subjective happiness, when we evaluate how well a person is living his/her life. This method has an advantage of overcoming weaknesses of standard public policies while it faces the difficult task of creating generalized multi-dimensional measures. This research program aims to gain diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives by circulating researchers and, ultimately, construct a 'positionally objective' capability index.
