Review of Income and Wealth, 1989, vol. 35, issue 2, 209-224

Abstract: The evaluation of livestock production in the United Nations System of National Accounts implies a measure which is inconsistent with the general principle evaluation of production in this system. This paper deals with a critical appraisal of the methods used by the SNA and two sahelian countries in livestock accounting. Finally, estimations of NIGER'S GDP over the period 1983 to 1985 are carried out, using the four livestock production assessments presented. Differences in GDP's evaluations are large, reaching 17 percent in 1984 and 7 percent in 1985 in terms of rate of growth.
