The purpose of Paul Dalziel and Caroline Saunders in preparing their article - Wellbeing Economics: A Policy Framework for New Zealand - is to propose that the economics profession's renewed focus on wellbeing, as affirmed by Stiglitz et al. (2009), 'provides an opportunity to move beyond just measurement issues to consider more fundamental conceptual questions about how wellbeing is framed in regional and national economic policy advice' (Dalziel and Saunders, 2015: book IV, chap. 2, para. 9).
