Abstract

In order to systematize and organize the information needed to analyze sustainable development problems and also to select the most suggestive indicators, there were developed several model-frameworks, on which to overlay systems of statistical indicators for quantifying sustainability. This article analyzes in a comparative manner four frameworks based on cause-effect relationships, reflecting their advantages and disadvantages: PSR, DSR, DPSIR and DPSEEA. The models are already used by international organizations with responsibilities in official statistics, as well as by numerous national statistical offices of European and Non-European countries. The paper indicates the strengths and weaknesses of each framework, focusing on aspects that can be taken from each model-framework to be combined into a new hybrid model-framework, able to provide a quantitative characterization of sustainability aspects.
