Social Accounting for Industrial and Transition Economies

"This comprehensive treatment of the use and applications of the social accounting matrix examines the experience of industrial and transition economies, including EU and Central European countries, Russia and China. S.I. Cohen shows how the social accounting matrix provides a comprehensive framework for the tabulation and analysis of national statistics and how it can assist in developing economic policy. Key aspects of the approach are demonstrated in dealing with a wide range of economic and social issues. This valuable reference will be an essential addition to the bookshelves of researchers, instructors, policy makers, scholars and libraries."--Jacket.
