Uses of
methodological information Links to more detailed methodological information compiled by IMF, Eurostat, national statistical agencies (refer 1.7) 9 Price Indices © 2002 Existing international statistical guidelines and recommendations are the source of the definitions for the MEI target short-term indicators, i.e. the short-term economic indicators that the OECD would like to publish for each Member country. The MEI data inventory provides a detailed list of what the OECD actually publishes for those countries, received either directly or via other international organisations. Current national practices regarding the compilation of each short-term economic indicator are provided by national agencies (again received either directly or via other international organisations) in the form of statistical methodological information. All five components in the above diagram are used in the comparisons provided in subsequent parts of this publication. These comparisons comprise: • a description of the indicator, and background information on the context and use(s). Such information often provides an insight into areas and issues that impact on the comparability of the indicator, an indication to users on how data may be used, limitations to the use of the data, etc.; • an outline of specific existing international statistical guidelines and recommendations; • relevant data specifications and definitions and other information on the indicators actually collected from Member countries; • summary comparison tables outlining key methodological aspects of current national practice for each of the indicators in this publication (i.e. consumer and producer price indices); • the Internet address of detailed methodological information provided on websites by national agencies and other international organisations (most notably the IMF on their Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board (DSBB) and Eurostat). Resource constraints preclude comparisons of all the methodological issues involved in the collection, compilation and presentation of the indicators compared in this publication. Those included in the comparison tables are (subjectively) thought to have the greatest impact on data comparability. They vary for each MEI series. Download 465.51 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
