CULTURAL ACCOUNTING: AN EXAMPLE FROM A SMALL CARIBBEAN ISLAND

"A cultural accounting matrix (CAM) is a means of describing and analyzing the cultural division of labor in socially and economically segmented societies. This paper explains the background to the CAM approach and applies it to a small Caribbean island. The analysis involves identifying the way in which the present-day division of labor between the principal resident populations of the Island has arisen and calculating inter-relational income distribution multipliers between the populations".
