A cornerstone text in the intersection of two disciplines, Accounting for Economists bridges the often-siloed worlds of financial accounting and economic analysis, presenting the principles of accounting in a language and framework that resonates with trained economists. Written by Russell Mathews, Professor of Accounting and Public Finance at The Australian National University, the book systematically instructs readers on how to interpret financial statements, understand cost structures, and apply accounting data to broader economic inquiry — all through the lens of rigorous economic reasoning. Mathews argues that a working knowledge of accounting is not merely supplementary for economists but fundamentally essential for sound policy analysis and applied economic research. Reflecting the intellectual rigour of its academic origins at one of Australia's most prestigious institutions, this volume presents accounting concepts with analytical precision, stripping away the procedural complexity often found in traditional accounting textbooks to reveal the economic substance beneath. Mathews's approach is methodical yet accessible, making this an indispensable resource for economics students, researchers, and practitioners who need to navigate financial data with confidence. For anyone seeking to truly command the quantitative foundations of economic decision-making, this text remains a compelling and authoritative guide.
