Abstract

The first system of Norwegian national accounts was developed during the period 1946–1952 by the Research Department of the Central Bureau of Statistics of Norway (CBS), headed by Dr. Odd Aukrust.1) This system — based on the production approach (or commodity flow method) rather than the income-approach — was well suited as a basis for compiling data for input-output tables. As an experiment the first input-output table for Norway was constructed in 1951 for the year 1938.2) This table was later revised completely when final national accounts figures became available. The first I-O table with final figures applies to the year 1948 and was published in 1952.3)
