Description

Originally published in 1954, on behalf of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, this book presents a general review of British economic statistics in relation to the uses made of them for policy purposes.

The text begins with an examination, in general terms, of the ways in which statistics can help in guiding or assessing policy, covering housing, coal, the development areas, agricultural price-fixing, the balance of external payments and the balance of the economy.

The problems of statistical application are then separately discussed under the headings of quality, presentation and availability, and organization.

A full bibliography and reference table of principal British economic statistics are also included.

This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in British economic history and statistics.
