Statistical Methods; Econometrics; Social Accounting.

This section presents abstracts of research and articles on statistical methods used in economics, econometrics and social accounting. In their article, A Note on the Dual Prices of Integer Programs, R. E. Alcaly and A. K. Klevorick propose an alternative view of integer programming problems by presenting a recomputation process that enables a reconciliation of the integer and linear programming properties. A. R. Bergstrom's article, Nonrecursive Models as Discrete Approximations to Systems of Stochastic Differential Equations, is concerned with the specification error implied by the use of a nonrecursive model as a discrete approximation to a system of stochastic differential equations. In the paper, Financial Accounting: Its Present State and Prospects, author G. S. Dorrance reviews the presently available national statistics of borrowing and lending in communities, and of national balance sheets. It covers 17 countries, including practically all those for which such data are now available together with two for which data have been presented in the past. H. Enzer examines a linear growth system by applying a nonnegative output matrix to an age distribution of capital stock, in the paper On A Useful Capital Growth Matrix.
