%0 Journal Article %T ABOUT THE IMPOSSIBILITY THEOREM FOR INDICATORS AGGREGATION %A Daniel Traian PELE %J Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods %D 2009 %I Association for Development through Science and Education %X This paper presents some aspects related to the issues of aggregating economic indicators. Departing from the research of Gh. Paun (1983) we will prove a theorem which states that under certain, natural assumptions, it is impossible to obtain an optimum aggregation. Unlike the original work of Paun, in this paper we are giving a rather simple proof of this theorem. %K economic indicators %K aggregate indicator %K optimum aggregation %K sensitive indicator %K unexplosive indicator %K system of indicators %U http://www.jaqm.ro/issues/volume-4,issue-1/pdfs/pele.pdf
