The Illusory Nature of Balance Sheets in Agricultural Economic Statistics: A Note

Author

Listed:
  • Berkeley Hill

Abstract

Balance sheets are potentially important when monitoring the economic situation of agriculture. As conventionally drawn up, they relate to fictional statistical units and require arbitrary decisions about what constitutes agricultural assets and liabilities. This artificiality undermines their validity. The implications of basing balance sheets on real institutional units are discussed.
