National Accounts Statistics: Analysis of Main Aggregates, 2017 National Accounts Statistics: Analysis of Main Aggregates, 2017 United Nations ST/ESA/STAT/SER.X/61 Department of Economic and Social Affairs Statistics Division National Accounts Statistics: Analysis of Main Aggregates, 2017 United Nations New York, 2019 The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which United Nations Member States draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

By enshrining our profound conviction and commitment that offi- cial statistics have to adhere to well-defined professional and scientific standards, they define us as a professional community, reaching across political, economic and cultural borders. They have stood the test of time and remain as relevant today as they were when they were first adopted over twenty years ago. In an appropriate recognition of their significance for all societies, who aspire to shape their own fates in an informed manner, the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics were adopted on 29 January 2014 at the highest political level as a General Assembly resolution (A/RES/68/261). This is, for us, a moment of great pride, but also of great responsibility and opportunity. In order for the Principles to be more than just a statement of noble intentions, we need to renew our efforts, individually and collectively, to make them the basis of our day-to-day statistical work.

Ques. Are Universities preparing students for NSOs? √ 2 Collection and management of big data for POS Exp. 1. Count of number of vehicles crossing road sections. Presently done in a very primitive way. Why not get the information and much more from cell phone companies? Available in principle for each time point. Exp. 2. Use the BPP, based on 5 million commodities sold on line to predict the CPI requires two costly surveys. 3 Big Data Big Problems Big headache Coverage/selection bias (we are talking of POS) Data accessibility New legislation Privacy (data protection) Disclosure control Computer storage Computation and Analysis Linkage of different files Risk of data manipulation 4 Two types of big data Type 1. Data obtained from sensors, cameras, cell phones…, - generally structured and accurate, Type 2. Data obtained from social networks, e-commerce etc.,- diverse, unstructured and appears irregularly. Type 1 measurements available continuously. Should POS publications be mostly in the form of graphs and pictures? If aggregate data needed, how should big data be transformed to monthly aggregates? By sampling? Will random sampling continue playing an important role when processing big data? 5 Other important issues Coverage bias- major concern in use of big data for POS.

Multiple factor models take many forms and are often developed and fitted to older ages. In order to capture trends from young ages it is necessary to take into account the richer age structure of mortality im- provement from young ages to middle and then into older ages. The Heligman and Pollard (1980) model is a parametric model which captures the main features of period mortality tables and has parameters that are interpreted according to age range and effect on rates. Although time series techniques have been applied to model parameters in various parametric mortality models, there has been limited analysis of parameter risk using Bayesian techniques.

  • Cooperation Between a Statistical Bureau and an Academic
    International Statistical Institute, 56th Session, 2007: Gad Nathan Cooperation between a statistical bureau and an academic department of statistics as a basis for teaching official statistics Gad Nathan Hebrew University, Department of Statistics Mt. Scopus 91905 Jerusalem, Israel E-mail: [email protected] 1. Introduction The teaching of official statistics was for long deemed to be outside the scope of academic curricula and was traditionally confined to the internal training programmes of the official statistical agencies themselves and to those of international agencies. The relevance of academic training in statistics for official statisticians was questioned, for instance, by Bishop (1964), and by Benjamin (1975), who emphasized the need for the training of official statisticians in administrative skills, rather than in statistics. In recent years, however, statistical sciences have developed considerably to cover a wide range of applications, each with its own specific methodology. Some applications, such as econometrics, psychometrics, biostatistics, operations research etc., have become disciplines in their own right and recognized as closely related to classical statistical sciences. The development of a vast range of statistical techniques, developed over the past fifty years, has resulted in a high degree of specialization and this is manifested in the diversity of graduate academic programmes and curricula in statistics. On the other hand, the functions and modes of operation of governmental statistical agencies have changed considerably over the past fifty years. The developments in statistical methodology, especially in sampling techniques and analysis, have shifted the emphasis from a primarily descriptive mode, mostly concerned with the tabulation and simple description of administrative data, to very sophisticated methods of collection by sample surveys, sometimes linked to administrative data, and to advanced methods of analysis, such as time series analysis and categorical data models.

    Assessing the accuracy of response propensities in longitudinal studies CCSR Working Paper 2010-08 Ian Plewis, Sosthenes Ketende, Lisa Calderwood Ian Plewis, Social Statistics, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, U.K. E-mail: [email protected]. Sosthenes Ketende and Lisa Calderwood, Centre for Longitudinal Studies, Institute of Education, London WC1H 0AL, U.K. The omnipresence of non-response in longitudinal studies is addressed by assessing the accuracy of statistical models constructed to predict different types of non-response. Particular attention is paid to summary measures derived from receiver operating characteristic curves and logit rank plots as ways of assessing accuracy. The ideas are applied to data from the first four waves of the UK Millennium Cohort Study and the results suggest that our ability to discriminate and predict non-response is not high. Changes in socio-economic circumstances do predict wave non-response with implications for the underlying missingness mechanism. Conclusions are drawn in terms of the potential of interventions to prevent non-response and methods of adjusting for it.. www.ccsr.ac.uk Abstract The omnipresence of non-response in longitudinal studies is addressed by assessing the accuracy of statistical models constructed to predict different types of non-response.

  • Guidance Note: Meeting ICP National Accounts Expenditure Data 1 Requirements During the COVID-19 Pandemic
    Guidance Note: Meeting ICP National Accounts Expenditure Data 1 Requirements during the COVID-19 Pandemic ICP Inter-Agency Coordination Group May 10, 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to pose unprecedented challenges for compiling national accounts expenditure data for the International Comparison Program (ICP). This note presents some guidance to assist National Implementing Agencies (NIAs) in meeting ICP data requirements in the context of the pandemic situation. 1 Drafted by Mizuki Yamanaka, Maurice Nsabimana, Inyoung Song and Marko Rissanen, World Bank, with inputs from Andrey Kosarev, Interstate Statistical Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States; Brian Graf and Paul Austin, International Monetary Fund; Claudia Andrea De Camino Ferrario, United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean; Gregoire Mboya Deloubassou, African Development Bank; Kaushal Joshi, Asian Development Bank; Majed Skaini, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia; Paul Konijn, Eurostat; Beiling Yan, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development; Michel Mouyelo- Katoula; and Catherine Van Rompaey, Eric Roland Metreau and Yuri Dikhanov, World Bank. Edited by Edie Purdie, World Bank. 1 1. Introduction This note seeks to provide guidance to International Comparison Program (ICP) National Implementing Agencies (NIAs) on national accounts activities for the ICP 2021 cycle in the current context of COVID- 19, as was done in a similar note for price data (“Guidance Note: Meeting ICP Price Data Requirements During the COVID-19 Pandemic”). As of the beginning of the 2nd quarter of 2021, the pandemic is still not under control, and potential disruptions to ICP national accounts activities remain. This guidance note summarizes national accounts data requirements for the ICP 2021 cycle and ICP approaches, overviews potential challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and provides some recommendations.
