RELIABILITY CRITERIA FOR NATIONAL ACCOUNTS

George J. Novak

Review of Income and Wealth, 1975, vol. 21, issue 3, 323-344

Abstract: The reliability of national accounts is determined by the adequacy of a great variety of data sources and estimating methods. This inquiry focuses on major conceptual and methodological problems, and while it does not solve the reliability problem, it provides a framework for reliability analysis and suggests criteria for the evaluation of results; it also assists the producers of national accounts in determining the major trade‐offs between different areas of possible data improvement.
