The Structure of Industry in the EEC. An International Comparison. University of Cambridge Department of Applied Economics Occasional Paper 43.

Charles Hilliard Feinstein (1932–2004), a Fellow of the British Academy, worked out the structure and size of the British economy from 1965 and back to mid-Victorian times. Beyond scholarship, his life subsumed a longer arc: the quest for an equitable South Africa in his youth, and its resumption in his final years. The economics that appealed to Feinstein were those of Karl Marx, and he submitted an honours dissertation on the labour theory of value. He was attracted to the University of Cambridge by the presence there of the Marxist economist Maurice Dobb, and the two remained close for years afterwards. In 1958, Feinstein took a research position in Cambridge's Department of Applied Economics, where he adapted national income series for immediate use. In 1963, he became an assistant university lecturer in economic history, and fellow and director of studies in economics at Clare College. Feinstein published a book entitled National Income towards the end of the heroic phase of historical national accounting.

Cet article est le résultat de travaux et de relevés effectués en 1942. A l’époque, les études entreprises avaient été inspirées surtout par les œuvres des précurseurs Ragnar Frisch, Henry Schultz, Henry L. Moore, H. R. Tolley et M.J.B. Ezekiel. Dès avant les hostilités cependant, des développements importants avaient été apportés à l’étude de l’élasticité de la demande, en particulier par l’introduction du calcul de l’élasticité de la quantité demandée en fonction du revenu de la population, qui venait s’ajouter au calcul traditionnel de l’élasticité de la quantité demandée en fonction du prix du produit considéré. L’économétrie connaît actuellement des développements considérables, dus surtout aux efforts déployés aux Etats-Unis d’Amérique (The University of Chicago : Cowles Commission for Research in Economics), en Grande-Bretagne (University of Cambridge : Department of Applied Economics) et en France où des travaux importants furent entrepris par des équipes dirigées par M. René Roy et par M. Maurice Allais, ainsi qu’à l’Institut des Sciences économiques appliquées, dirigé par M. François Perroux, et également par les ingénieurs des grandes entreprises nationalisées. L’école néerlandaise a continué de participer activement aux recherches.
