Springer - The New System of National Accounts 47 Book

Explore the evolution of macroeconomic analysis with The New System of National Accounts, part of the Recent Economic Thought series. This volume provides a deep look into how economic accounts have transformed into essential tools for policy formulation and economic projections since the Second World War. As the United Nations released different versions of the System of National Accounts (SNA) to enable consistent global economic comparisons, the need for expert commentary grew. This collection of essays and commentaries was specifically prompted by the publication of SNA 1993. It offers a detailed examination of the framework that allows for modern economic measurement and comparison. This book is an important resource for those studying business and economic history. It tracks the development of national income estimates from their early roots to the sophisticated systems used today. By examining the transition to the SNA 1993 standards, readers gain insight into the methods used to build reliable macroeconomic models and facilitate international economic dialogue.
