In 2014, the U. S. government adopted a new quarterly statistic called gross output (GO), the most significance advance in national income accounting since gross domestic product (GDP) was developed in the 1940s. The announcement came as a triumph for Mark Skousen, who advocated GO nearly 25 years ago as an essential macroeconomic tool and a better way to measure the economy and the business cycle. Now it has become an official statistic issued quarterly by the Bureau of Economic Analysis at the U. S. Department of Commerce. In this new revised edition of Structure of Production, Skousen shows why GO is a more accurate and comprehensive measure of the economy because it includes business-to-business transactions that move the supply chain along to final use. (GDP measures the value of finished goods and services only, and omits B-to-B activity.) GO is an attempt to measure spending at all stages of production. Using GO, Skousen demonstrates that the supply-side of the business spending is far more important than consumer spending, is more consistent with economic growth theory, and a better measure of the business cycle. 此次合作后，编辑与负责人反馈优秀的话，能与新华出版社长期合作，稿费会相应提高。 项目期限：2016年6月7日之前完成全部译文。 试译期限：2016年2月23日之前。 译文数量：约为30万汉字。 译者数量：2-3人。 对译者要求： 1. 以试译稿的质量为核心选取指标。 2. 最好经济学硕士毕业，并有相关书籍的翻译经验。此两属性若至少有一符合，请在试译稿中加上相关说明。 如果有任何其他问题，请发邮件至jianghaoqian@yeeyan.com质询。
