The national accounts are an internationally coordinated statistical system designed to describe the operation of national economies. The harmonised principles of national accounting provide powerful tools not only for analyses of the current situation, but also for historical reviews and international comparisons.
This course takes you through the uses and the history of the national accounts; the main concepts and definitions; and the general principles of national accounting.
The aim of the course is to give an understanding of what exactly gross domestic product or GDP describes (and what it does not describe) and to introduce some other economic indicators.
In our examples you will also meet the "statistical" Finn family, who should help to make things easier to understand.
