Historical national accounting is nowadays recognized as an
important field of research in economic history. Nevertheless the
sub discipline also receives a lot of criticism. Several estimates
would be based on shaky data material so that the outcome would in
part reflect the personal opinion of those who produced the series.
Moreover in some publications the estimation methods are explained
in very vague terms thereby making a duplication of the results
almost impossible. This book tries to remedy these critiques. The
estimation procedures of the various components of Belgian national
income between 1920 and 1939 are thoroughly discussed and
explained.The book also falsifies the proposition that "Belgium is
a country without statistics." There are many series available but
they are scattered over many publications and therefore often
difficult to find. One merit of this book is that it brings
together quantitative material from very diverse sources and
origins. Not only economic historians will benefit from the wealth
of statistics presented here, but also e.g. social historians.
