摘要：
This seminar is to provide an overview of the theory of economic measurement, highlighting the role played by measurement in economics and the special tasks performed by measurement economists. This seminar discusses the major measurement issues, such as index number theory, the measurement of capital, the measurement of income, the measurement of human capital and the measurement of productivity. Economic measurement provides methodological and technical guidance for constructing and refining official economic statistics including national accounts and price statistics. As such, this seminar also covers some practical issues in the production of official GDP statistics.
