    Measuring digital trade

    Digital transformation has become a prevalent part of our lives, changing theway we consume, produce and trade, and this trend has only accelerated sincethe COVID-19 crisis. Still, digital transformation remains largely hidden in officialtrade statistics. From a statistical perspective, a fundamental rethink is requiredin the way that core national accounts are constructed if meaningful measuresof digital trade are to be developed. This Going Digital Toolkit note highlights themain features of the OECD-IMF-WTO conceptual framework defining digitaltrade, as well as practical guidance to overcome some of the measurementchallenges. It also catalogues various country initiatives to estimate digital trade.

    Developing thematic satellite accounts: The example of a thematic satellite account for transport

    Statistics Working Paper N. 109 2021/2 - In addition to the core set of accounts, the 2008 SNA also introduces satellite accounts, which are linked to, but distinct from, the central framework of national accounts. This paper aims to clarify the key steps for the compilation of thematic satellite accounts, using the example of a satellite account for transport.

    Developing thematic satellite accounts - The example of a thematic satellite account for transport

    The 2008 System of National Accounts (SNA) provides the international standards for compiling macro-economic statistics. In addition to the core set of accounts, the 2008 SNA also introduces satellite accounts, which are linked to, but distinct from, the central framework of national accounts. One type of satellite accounts involves some rearrangement of central classifications and the possible introduction of complementary elements, to give a more detailed description and monitoring of a certain theme, such as tourism, education, health, the digital economy and transport. They may involve some differences from the standards applied in the central framework, but they generally do not change the underlying concepts of the SNA in a fundamental way. The second type of satellite analysis is mainly based on concepts that are alternatives to those of the SNA. They may include a different production boundary, an enlarged concept of consumption or capital formation, an extension of the scope of assets, and so on. There is a growing demand for satellite accounts, especially for the first type of thematic satellite accounts. This paper aims to clarify the key steps for the compilation of such thematic satellite accounts, using the example of a satellite account for transport.

    Distribution of household income, consumption and saving in line with national accounts - Methodology and results from the 2020 collection round

    Economic inequality has been a matter of concern for policy makers and citizens. Evidence-based policies around important topics such as inequality need to rely on systematic, robust data and indicators. For that reason, the OECD and Eurostat have developed methodology and engaged in several rounds of data collection to measure disparities in line with national accounts (DNA). These estimates complement existing indicators on economic inequality by providing more comprehensive measures of inequality, by extending the analysis from income to consumption and saving, and by providing results that are fully consistent with macroeconomic aggregates, also ensuring a high degree of international comparability. This paper presents the latest developments of the DNA work.

    Digital supply-use tables - Making digital transformation more visible in economic statistics

    Digital transformation of the economy has increased so quickly that some say economic statistics have failed to keep up. While on balance the current statistical standard used by countries to compile gross domestic product – the 2008 System of National Accounts – can reflect the changing nature of the digital age, some have questioned whether this is enough. Digital supply-use tables (digital SUTs) may provide, at least partly, a solution to this challenge. By disaggregating established indicators in the national accounts, information is generated for research and policy purposes that provides better insights on how digital transformation affects the economy, while still remaining consistent with SNA principles. This Going Digital Toolkit note identifies the measurement difficulties brought about by the digitalisation of the economy, and explains how digital SUTs are designed to help address them. Examples of relevant work that has been undertaken by OECD member countries and could contribute to the compilation of the digital SUTs are showcased.

    Interpréter les indicateurs composites avancés de l’OCDE (CLIs)

    Les indicateurs composites avancés de l’OCDE ont été développés pour la première fois dans les années 1980 pour signaler à l’avance les points de retournement du cycle économique. Plus particulièrement, les ICA de l’OCDE sont conçus pour anticiper les points de retournement de la différence entre le niveau du PIB réel et sa tendance, différence appelée « écart de PIB".

    Towards Improved and Comparable Productivity Statistics - A Set of Recommendations for Statistical Policy

    This report, published in the 60th anniversary of the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), is the first outcome of their collaboration to develop improved and more comparable productivity statistics across APO and OECD member economies. It explores current practices and challenges in productivity measurement and provides recommendations to National Productivity Organisations (NPOs), National Statistics Offices (NSOs), and other agencies involved in the compilation and analysis of productivity statistics in APO member economies to improve measurement and cross-country comparability.
