Wartime Economics in Italy: National Accounting and Economic Planning
探讨二战对意大利国民收入研究的影响,以及经济规划方法的转变,聚焦科拉多·吉尼对国民收入的原始定义及其与战后规划政策的关系。
Abstract This article deals with the consequences of World War II on the study of national income and the changing approach to economic planning in Italy. It concentrates on Corrado Gini's original definition of national income in terms of well-being with respect to the meaning that will prevail after the war, which was instrumental for a planning policy. Both the development of an accounting system and attempts to implement economic planning contributed to the establishment of economic expertise and to the transformation of the language of economics.
