Review of Income and Wealth, 1998, vol. 44, issue 3, pages 345-59

Abstract: An important application of national accounts is in the formulation of socio-economic policy. This paper starts out with a discussion of the current situation in the Netherlands. Subsequently, it identifies several universal trends (more micro-oriented policy formulation, globalization, the rise of the flexible service economy, and the increasing intertwinement of economic, social, and environmental, policies) and outlines how the national accounts might be adapted and extended so as to enhance its role as the core information system for policy formulation at the macro- and meso-level.
