Description: Geography and Ownership as Bases for Economic Accounting provides a forum for leading specialists in trade and international economics to explore whether changes in the world economy have increased the usefulness of economic accounts drawn up on the basis of ownership rather than of geography. The papers in this volume suggest that ownership-based accounts are helpful in understanding trade and financial transactions among globalized enterprises.
