THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL ACCOUNTS IN ARGENTINA*

J. V. Sourrouille

Review of Income and Wealth, 1976, vol. 22, issue 4, 353-375

Abstract: The history of national accounting in Argentina is presented in brief. The use of the production method as a basis for GDP estimates is explained and sources and methods of deriving the estimates for different sectors are commented on in some detail. Next the reliability of the estimates is examined for sectoral product, national income by factor shares and the components of final expenditure in terms of the comparison of two different estimates for the period 1950–1963. The degree of accuracy is judged to be generally sufficient, but the importance of economic censuses in the process of estimation is stressed. The importance of detailed studies on several different aspects of the economic structure (input‐output, personal and family income by size and regional accounts) is also stressed as a basis for improving the reliability of estimates.
