CALL FOR PAPERS
IARIW-NBS International Conference on Experiences and Challenges in
Measuring National Income and Wealth in Transition Economies
September 18-21, 2007, Beijing, China
In partnership with the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS), the
International Association for Research in Income and Wealth is organizing a conference
on the theme of experiences and challenges in measuring national income
and wealth in transition economies. The conference will take place in Beijing,
China in September 18-21 2007.
The objective of the conference is to further our understanding from an
empirical perspective of developments in China and other transition economies
(e.g. Russia, CIS, Eastern Europe, Vietnam) in the areas of the measurement of
growth, productivity and other macroeconomic aggregates, as well as income distribution.
A second objective is to deepen the debate related to the implications
for China and other transition economies of the current SNA update. Selected
papers from the conference will be published in a theme issue of the Review of
Income and Wealth.
Specific topics suggested for the conference sessions are:
- Plenary sessions:
- Issues for National Accounting in Countries in Transition
