1.7 Collection of methodological information for this publication
The OECD currently is looking at ways of streamlining the collection and maintenance of methodological information through more effective co-ordination with other international agencies (in particular IMF, ILO, Eurostat and UNSD). Essentially, this entails the inclusion of links (hyperlinks) in OECD metadata to more detailed methodological information maintained by other international organisations and national agencies in lieu of direct collection by the OECD for MEI. Extensive use of this approach was made in the preparation of the current publication. There was significant co-operation with national agencies of OECD Member countries, notably national statistical institutes and central banks. Wide use was also made of methodological descriptions provided by these agencies in national publications and on the Internet. Some information was drawn from other sources, for example, information collected by international organisations such as the IMF, ILO, UNSD and Eurostat. In a few instances, direct contact was made with national agencies, usually to verify a specific aspect of methodology. Finally, extensive material was obtained from papers prepared by OECD staff members for presentation at the Joint OECD-Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) Workshop on Key Economic Indicators, held in Bangkok on 22-25 May 2000. 10 Refer to OECD Glossary of Statistical Terms at http://cs3-hq.oecd.org/scripts/stats/glossary/index.htm 11 The preparation of this glossary (published in 2000) entailed extensive input from UNSD, IMF, World Bank and Eurostat. It is available on the OECD website at http://www.oecd.org/std/nahome.htm 12 Refer to http://forum.europa.eu.int/Public/irc/dsis/bmethods/info/data/new/main_en.htm 17 Price Indices © 2002 It is important to note that the information in the publication was accurate when the original research was carried out. The information was again checked just prior to publication. However, the compilation practices of Member countries are constantly evolving and given the wide range of subject matter and the number of countries covered, it is likely that methodological changes will occur over time, thus affecting the accuracy of the information contained herein.
