Summary:

Geared towards non-specialists, this publication aims to provide an introduction to the key statistical ideas relevant to understanding national accounts. Chapters discuss essential macroeconomic aggregates, distinguishing between volume and price increases, international comparisons, production data, defining final uses of gross domestic product, the household account, business accounts, the financial and balance sheet accounts, the general government account, the input- output table and integrated economic accounts, and the machinery of data compilation and reporting. Also included are overviews of the national accounts of the United States, India, and China and a discussion of international systems of national accounts. Throughout, economic statements and policy recommendations of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development are connected to statistical understandings of national accounts.
