Measuring War, Managing Peace: The Geopolitical Origins and Theoretical Evolution of the System of National Accounts
| 主讲人 |

简介 |
<p>Far from a neutral scorecard, the System of National Accounts (SNA) is a strategic infrastructure through which states define economic capacity, fiscal credibility, and geopolitical power. Tracing its theoretical evolution from John Maynard Keynes’s wartime demand management and Richard Stone’s double-entry standardization under the Marshall Plan to Wassily Leontief’s input-output matrices and modern SNA 2025, this presentation shows how shifting boundaries of production, capital, and welfare reshape what policymakers can see. While SNA 2025 expands measurement into data assets, natural capital, and household distribution, it remains a contested compromise. Resource depletion valuation, crypto-assets, and ownership-based recording of processing trade create severe tariff blind spots. Rather than a passive accounting tool, the SNA functions as an active mechanism of geoeconomic orientation and policy validation.</p> |

His broader international leadership includes his role as Vice President of the International Input-Output Association (IIOA), visiting research scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and membership in the United Nations expert advisory group on aviation satellite accounts. He also represented the United States in ministerial-level negotiations on trade statistics under the U.S.–China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT).
