Features: As far as I know, this series of books is the first attempt to systematically publish the important works of all award winners. The publication of the series itself holds great significance, and its release in China is even more profound. I hope its publication will not only contribute to the development of economics but also directly promote the development of the Chinese economy.

This book is a collection of essays by Professor Stone, an economist at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Professor Stone (1913-1991) was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1984. There is a vast amount of data on national and international economic activities, which is intricate and complex. To make this data accurate, unified, and interconnected, reflecting the full picture of economic activities, it is necessary to use an economic method for verification and balancing. Stone creatively classified economic activities into several major categories and presented a large amount of statistical data for macroeconomic analysis in the form of tables, providing a basis for formulating economic policies. The statistical methods he proposed greatly improved the analytical foundation for economic practice and made pioneering contributions to national income statistics. This book briefly reflects the statistical methods and other economic theoretical viewpoints proposed by Stone. Target Audience: Economics students and teachers, economic theorists, scholars, and researchers.
