摘要：

This paper demonstrates that the perfect tradeoff implication of the old Human Development Index can be avoided by employing a notion of imperfect tradeoff in the characterization of the Human Development Index. The resulting index is shown to be ordinally equivalent to the Chakravarty (Rev Dev Econ 7:99-114, 2003) generalized Human Development Index.
