内容説明

First discussions on several topics of this book took place at a symposium held at the University of Karlsruhe (July 14 - 21, 1985). The book is divided into nine parts with the headings "Methodology and Methods" (4 papers), "Prices" (9), "Efficiency" (5), "Preferences" (7), "Quality" (2), "Inequality" (6), "Taxation" (6), "Aggregation" (6), and "Econometrics" (6). The topics range from the "equation of measurement", a functional equation which plays an important role in the subject, through various approaches to price, efficiency, inequality and tax progression measurement to results on consistency, efficiency and separability in aggregation, productivity measurement, cost functions, allocation inefficiencies, key sector indices, and testing of integrability conditions in econometrics. There are applications to the economies of the U.S.A., Japan and Germany. It contains also papers which deal with preferences, environmental quality and with noxiousness of substances.

目次

The book has been edited by Wolfgang Eichhorn, the author of "Functional Equations in Economics" (Reading, 1978) and of various papers on the subject, with the cooperation of several of his colleagues, including W. Erwin Diewert. Since 1978, when the volume "Theory and Applications of Economic Indices", edited by W. Eichhorn, R. Henn, O. Opitz and R.W. Shephard, appeared, the literature on this topic and, in general, on measurement in economics, has grown rapidly. The present bool offers an overview of significant new results on the subject. It contains 51 articles by 62 authors. Each paper has been reviewed by at least two referees. As a consequence, the articles in this volume are revised versions of the original papers.
