MEI Methodological Analysis - Supplement 2 © 2002 16 1.6 Target definitions for MEI target indicators In addition to the list of target indicators provided above, the OECD has also published a glossary 10 containing “target definitions” for many of the indicators published in MEI. These are derived from existing international statistical recommendations and guidelines. It is stated in the Glossary that “national practices, methodologies and concepts used in the actual compilation of data by OECD Member countries may (and frequently do) depart from these standards for a number of reasons”. In the context of using methodological information to make across country comparisons, it is important to remember that such departures do occur. Moreover, even the use of the same definition does not always guarantee a harmonised or uniform interpretation of that definition by different countries. In this current publication, national departures from standard international definitions have been highlighted whenever possible. The definitions used in the compilation of the glossary were drawn from the international statistical standards located on the UNSD database referred to above. Extensive use was also made of glossaries published by international agencies. Examples of these include the OECD publication, System of National Accounts, 1993: Glossary, 11 and Eurostat’s CODED Glossary. 12 In most instances, the definitions in the OECD Glossary of Statistical Tersm are extracted word for word from the relevant international statistical recommendation or guideline. The glossary also provides precise reference information for each definition. The practice of direct quotation from the standard has been adopted to enable the user to refer to the actual guideline document when further information and/or context are required. In some instances, brief context information is also provided for background information, outlining the use of the concept, etc. Download 465.51 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
