Social and Demographic Accounting

doi:10.1017/CBO9780511559860

This book provides an account of developments and applications of social accounts. It concentrates particularly on the methods of social accounting that Richard Stone, Nobel Laureate in Economics, developed and applied during his long and distinguished career. The contributors to the volume examine applications of social accounts in economics and demography, addressing issues of new formulations and specifications at the national and regional levels. Economic structure and issues of structural change are investigated within the context of social accounts matrices, and Linear Expenditure Systems are used to model population change and household consumption. The importance of social accounts matrices (SAM) in generating Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models and the enormous potential that both SAM and CGE models have for policy analysis are stressed.

"The editors are to be commended for a collection of well-rounded papers and diverse viewpoints on important topics in account-based economics and demographic models. The book is an excellent summary of state-of-the art methods in this field." Journal of Regional Science
