Additional Methodological Discussion

Chapter 12 in Personal Consumption in the USSR and the USA, 1989, pp 130-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is time to consider several complex methodological problems. The authors themselves frankly list certain insurmountable difficulties but reduce them primarily to statistics [3]. While unquestionably agreeing with the authors that for decisive improvement of such calculations much better (and available) statistics are absolutely necessary, I permit myself to say that the methods also need improvement; they are far from blameless.
