摘要:

This paper presents a national accounting framework that is tailored to a description of the role of Research and Development (R&D) in the national economy. The main differences from the standard national accounts are some changes in basic concepts and the introduction of additional, more detailed, classifications. The framework facilitates drawing macro‐economic conclusions from all kinds of data on R&D. Figures presented in this way can serve as a data base for modelling the role of R&D in the national econom

摘要:

This paper is concerned with the growing earnings dispersion among British men. The study is based on unit record data drawn from the New Earnings Survey. It is found that increases in inequality within age groups account for most of the rise in earnings inequality overall. Occupation too is a significant explanation of growing inequality among workers, but the major part of increased inequality within age groups remains unexplained.

摘要:

This article proposes a new method to compute the real value‐added of industries which would substitute for the traditional double deflation method. The new method consists of deflating industries' direct and indirect contributions to final demand deliveries (their value‐added by commodity) by the respective final demand commodity prices. The article shows that the new industry real value‐added measures have better statistical and analytical properties than those obtained by the double deflation m

摘要:

We construct quarterly aggregate gross and net capital stock series for the post‐war U.S. economy using annual capital stock, capital depreciation, and capital discard figures along with quarterly investment series. We construct nominal and real measures of all three categories in the aggregate capital stock: consumer durable goods, producer durable goods, and business structures. In constructing the nominal series we take into account the changes in capital goods' prices. The series are constructed using four different methods. Using time‐ and frequency‐domain techniques, we compare the constructed series and characterize their short‐run, business cycle, and long‐run cyclical properties. We find that the constructed series exhibit very different cyclical and shock persistence dynamics. Practial implications are
