How great a fiscal burden will current policies leave to subsequent generations, and how might changes in those policies alter the intergenerational distribution of public welfare? Generational accounting has recently emerged as a robust new method of fiscal analysis and planning designed to assess the long-term sustainability of fiscal policy and to measure the extent of the financial load ultimately borne by present and future generations. A seminal contribution to public economics, generational accounting has already been adopted by 23 nations around the world. Combining the latest and most extensive country-by-country generational analyses with a comprehensive review of generational accounting's innovative methodology, these papers are a consummate resource for economists, political scientists, and policy makers concerned with fiscal health and responsibility.National Bureau of Economic Research project report.Finance, PublicAccountingGenerational accountingaccountant, finance, financial, money, wealth, income, economy, economics, career, worldwide, international, global, debt, government, tax, taxes, population, aging, growing old, legacy, future, generations, fiscal, policies, welfare, intergenerational, millennial, gen z, analysis, planning, savings, sustainability, academic, scholarly, research, higher ed, college, university, textbook.Finance, PublicAccounting.Generational accounting.339.5Auerbach Alan J115466Kotlikoff Laurence J124852Leibfritz Willi229150MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807861103321Generational accounting around the world4063554UNINA
