笔者认为,之所以出现“统计信息是否是社会经济信息主体”的争论,是由于许多概念模糊造成的。何谓“经济信息”、何谓“统计信息”至今没有一个完整的确切的概念解释。那些争论“统计信息是否是社会经济信息主体”的也没有对这些概念进行定义,只是建立在对“经济信息”“统计”与“统计信息”某些外延模糊认识基础上进行就事论事的反驳。如果把对方的某些论点(这些论点本身就不是说明统计信息不是社会经济信息的主体的)反驳倒了就能说明“统计信息是社会经济信息的主体”了吗?很显然论证是不充分的。于是我们认为:在没研究信息前先研究一下“统计”与目前水平的统计实务。统计不仅要包括社会、经济方面的统计,而且还包括人口、科技、教育以及自然方面的统计,也就是说统计是认识世界的有力工具,尽管我们目前的统计实务水平和能力还不能完全满足这方面要求,但毕竟它是统计的考察范畴。接下来我们讨论一下“信息”与“核算”这两个概念的关系。我们朴素的理解:各种核算(对客观实际活动的核算,包括统计核算、会计核算和业务核算)的成果,通过一定形式表现(反映)或提供给人们为人们改造世界服务的消息就是信息(这里不是给信息下定义)。然而,统计核算的方法单 The author believes that the reason why “statistical information is the main body of social and economic information” arose from the vagueness of many concepts. What is meant by “economic information”, what is meant by “statistical information” is not a complete and accurate conceptual explanation. Those who argue that “statistical information is the main body of socio-economic information” also do not define these concepts, but just make counterarguments on the basis of the ambiguity of certain delineations of “statistics” and “statistics” of “economic information.” If some of the arguments of the other side (these arguments are not themselves statements that statistical information is not the subject of socio-economic information) may be refuted, can “statistic information be the subject of socio-economic information?” Obviously the argument is not sufficient . So we think: Before we study the information, we study the statistical practice of statistics and the current level. Statistics include not only social and economic statistics, but also statistics on population, science and technology, education and nature, which means that statistics is a powerful tool for understanding the world. Although our present level of statistical practice and ability do not yet fully satisfy this Aspects, but after all, it is the scope of statistical investigation. Next we discuss the relationship between the concepts of “information” and “accounting.” Our simple understanding is that all kinds of accounting (the accounting of objective and actual activities, including statistical accounting, accounting and business accounting), the message of expressing (reflecting) or providing people with services in a certain form to transform the world are information Here is not to define the information). However, the method of statistical accounting alone
