The accounts of nations

National income and products estimates are used extensively worldwide. During the 1950's P. Studenski's work The Income of Nations became a classic on the topic. With more extensive compilations, more sophisticated applications, the results and methodology and far-reaching international agreements, the international comparability in accounts is now insured. This volume supplements the earlier research in national accounting with a historical overview that shows the development in national income and product accounts. Readers: researchers and professionals in economy, statistics and accounting.
