Ekonominhur

Ekonominhur is a theoretical framework used to analyze how the economy should function to maximize long-term welfare, balancing efficiency, equity, and sustainability. It emphasizes that economic policy cannot be evaluated on GDP growth alone but must account for social outcomes and environmental constraints.

The term appears in modern interdisciplinary discussions and is formed from components meaning economy and method or how; the concept is used mainly in academic and policy debates, not as an established school.

Core concepts include multi-criteria assessment, resilience, inclusive growth, governance and participatory policymaking, measurement standardization, and policy feedback loops that link actions to outcomes over time. It promotes scenario planning and long-term thinking.

Methods and tools often involve agent-based models, systems dynamics, and dashboards for real-time data; applications appear in urban planning, climate economics, development policy, and sustainability strategies. It is used to compare policy packages across economic, social, and environmental dimensions.

Criticism notes that the label can be vague and risks conflating distinct bodies of theory; some scholars argue it lacks precise definitions or metrics. Despite criticisms, the concept is cited in discussions about integrated evaluation and governance, where it serves as a heuristic for thinking about trade-offs and policy design.
