| | Sir John Richard Nicholas Stone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Stone initially studied law at the University of Cambridge, but, under the influence of economist John Maynard Keynes, he took a degree in economics in 1935 (Sc.D., 1957). |
 | | The greater part of Stone's work, however, was done in the 1950s, when he offered the first concrete statistical means by which to measure investment, government spending, and consumption; these models resulted in what was, in essence, a national bookkeeping system. |
 | | He was coauthor (with J.E. Meade) of National Income and Expenditure (1944; 10th ed., with Giovanna Stone, 1977) and author of several other works, including Input-Output and National Accounts (1961), Mathematics in the Social Sciences and Other Essays (1966), and Mathematical Models of the Economy and Other Essays (1970). |
