Janine Dixon

Janine Dixon, an economic modeller and director at the Centre of Policy Studies, and Terry Rawnsley, urban economist at KPMG, dive into the complexities of GDP as a measure of Australian life. They discuss how GDP growth isn’t the full story, particularly when it comes to per capita adjustments and income flows. The conversation explores overlooked areas like unpaid work, regional economic disparities, and the importance of new data sources. They debate GDP's effectiveness in reflecting true well-being and hint at rising investment trends impacting productivity.
