Resumen
Descripción
This note aims to identify the criteria followed by empirical studies in the selection of
relevant functionings and/or capabilities, and the indicators used for their measurement.
We survey twenty quantitative empirical applications of the CA in welfare economics. Our
survey shows that the criteria used by these studies fall within the range of: a) normative
views b) quantitative methods, and c) surveys. These three categories overlap and are
restricted by data availability.
