GDP, however, is focused on the production of goods and services sold in markets and reveals relatively little about important production in the home and other areas outside of markets. A set of satellite accounts "in areas such as health, education, volunteer and home production, and environmental improvement or pollution "would contribute to a better understanding of major issues related to economic growth and societal well-being. Beyond the Market: Designing Nonmarket Accounts for the United States hopes to encourage social scientists to make further efforts and contributions in the analysis of nonmarket activities and in corresponding data collection and accounting systems. The book illustrates new data sources and new ideas that have improved the prospects for progress.AccountingUnited StatesSocial accountingUnited StatesNational incomeAccountingAccountingSocial accountingNational incomeAccounting.339.373Abraham Katharine G125695Mackie Christopher D613931MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966805903321Beyond the market4363730UNINA
