Book Description
When we think about history, we often think about people, events, ideas, and revolutions, but what about the numbers? What do the data tell us about what was, what is, and how things changed over time? Economist Robert E. Gallman (1926–98) gathered extensive data on US capital stock and created a legacy that has, until now, been difficult for researchers to access and appraise in its entirety. Gallman measured American capital stock from a range of perspectives, viewing it as the accumulation of income saved and invested, and as an input into the production process. He used the level and change in the capital stock as proxy measures for long-run economic performance. Analyzing data in this way from the end of the US colonial period to the turn of the twentieth century, Gallman placed our knowledge of the long nineteenth century—the period during which the United States began to experience per capita income growth and became a global economic leader—on a strong empirical foundation. Gallman’s research was painstaking and his analysis meticulous, but he did not publish the material backing to his findings in his lifetime. Here Paul W. Rhode completes this project, giving permanence to a great economist’s insights and craftsmanship. Gallman’s data speak to the role of capital in the economy, which lies at the heart of many of the most pressing issues today.

European Financial Reporting
Author: Peter J. WaltonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
European Financial Reporting: A History is primarily a reference work for those interested in financial accounting and reporting. It is the first English language source that analyses the historical development of accounting in different European countries, and thereby provides relevant material for the study of comparative international accounting. Because the sum of accounting practices in any jurisdiction at any time represents an accumulation of past decisions, reactions to past events and initiatives in the past which have occurred in relation to an evolving social and economic culture, it follows that to study the accounting of the present, one must study the accounting of the past, and this book makes a first attempt to provide material which will help in that aim.

The recent financial crisis has sparked debates surrounding the nature and role of accounting in informing capital markets and regulatory bodies about the financial performance and position of a firm. These debates have drawn attention to the broader implications of accounting for the economy and society. Accounting and Business Economics brings together leading international scholars to examine the current state of accounting theory and its fundamental connection with the economics and finance of firms, viewing the business entity from not only accounting, but also national, economic, social, political, juridical, anthropological, and moral points of view.
