Brno, November 28 (BD) – Viet Kyung Lee is a student from Brno who graduated from Mendel University in Economics and Business with a dissertation on circular economics, which has now won the Atlas Copco Service Award.
Many economists have long argued that GDP is not the only tool for assessing the health of the economy, but only one indicator. Economic performance also depends on other social and factors, such as the number of university-educated citizens, the amount of leisure time, the quality of infrastructure, not to mention environmental air pollution, drought and the number or number of homeless people. . traffic accidents.
So a number of factors can be taken into account, which vary widely and the numbers can significantly affect a country’s national economic performance. Viet Cong Progress Low has built its own real index for the Czech Republic (GPI 2.0). This indicator is comprehensive and deals not only with the impact of consumption on the well-being of the population, but also with social and environmental aspects.
“The circular economy is an economic model of production and consumption, which consists of sharing goods, renting, reusing, repairing, restoring and recycling existing materials and products for as long as possible,” explained Phet Kwong Lee.
In recognition of his work, he received the Atlas Copco Service Award, which has been awarded to the most interesting diploma thesis from a Czech university in the last three years.
“The winning thesis is very modern, inspiring, clear and legible,” said Roman Pavlošek, CEO of Atlas Copco Services, “The author was not afraid to go into controversy and underline the limitations of the index he created. In any case, if the value of this indicator is stable or increasing, then it means that the natural resources and social capital of the Czech Republic, on which any flows of services and goods depend, will be preserved at least equally to future generations. “
