Abstract

In the second half of 1950 the Italian Central Institute of Statistics published a special volume containing the results of an exhaustive investigation into the structure and recent trends of Italy’s national income. The present article describes and comments on the recapitulative data, pointing out the essential features of Italy’s national product and national income. The author calls attention to the war disturbances, the post-war recovery movement, the changes that have occurred since 1938 in the percentage weight of the several component items (private activities, public sector, indirect taxes, incomes from abroad and donations), and especially to the industrial and agricultural income. The statistical analysis is preceded by explanatory remarks as to clear up certain problems of method and definition.
