本文探讨了会计在公共服务中嵌入市场机制的执行作用。它借鉴了卡尔•波兰尼（Karl Polanyi）的著作，认为市场化可以被理解为一种计算模型的工作，在这种模型中，自我调节市场的虚构是通过隐瞒其所依赖的社会和政治实践来传播的。在住房土地供应市场化的背景下，本文对一种名为“住房交付测试”的会计程序进行了实证研究，该程序模拟了英国土地利用规划系统中理想的住房市场。该研究指出，波兰尼的分析在将市场化项目中计算实践的表现理论化（不是创造他们所描述的经济，而是塑造一个虚构的市场）方面具有重要意义。
This article investigates the performative role of accountancy in embedding market mechanisms in public services. Drawing on the work of Karl Polanyi, it argues that marketisation can be understood as a work of calculative modelling in which the fiction of a self-regulating market is propagated through the concealment of the social and political practices on which it depends. Exploring this thesis in the marketisation of housing land supply, the article provides a forensic study of an accountancy procedure called the Housing Delivery Test that modelled an ideal housing market in the English land-use planning system. The study points to the importance of Polanyi's analysis in theorising the performativity of calculative practices in the project of marketisation, not as creating the economy they describe but in fashioning a fictional market.
