Quality Measures for Economic Indicators
Author: Gian Luigi Mazzi
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789289486231
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
Eurostat compiles on a regular basis EU and Euro-zone infra-annual economic statistics relevant for short-term economic analyses. Among these, a list of 19 indicators, called Principal European Economic Indicators (PEEIs), has been identified by key users as of prime importance for the conduct of economic and monetary policies for the Euro-zone. Eurostat has always put much effort on making these statistics promptly available, reliable, and harmonised for a sufficiently long time period. However, progresses achieved need to be closely monitored. To this end, the paper proposes a limited list of quality indicators to be used on a regular basis, easy to be implemented and giving users a clear and up-to-date overview of the state of quality of PEEIs, changes with respect to the recent past and future prospects. Examples of application of the proposed quality framework are provided in the paper.

Advances in Econometric Tools to Complement Official Statistics in the Field of Principal European Economic Indicators

Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
The paper presents ongoing activity carried out at Eurostat in the field of Principal European Economic Indicators (PEEIs) on econometric tools for increasing their relevance of short term statistics. Three lines of methodologies are here presented: the first is aimed to increase data timeliness and concerns the framework for nowcasting and density forecast as well as that on coincident indicators. Nowcasting implies a general linear regression as reference model, whereas coincident indicators are based on bridge- and factor-models complemented by intensive application of the LARS algorithm. The second line of research concerns the construction of high frequency indicators of economic activity mainly based on state space models applied to data available at mixed frequency. We present Euro-MIND, the monthly coincident indicator for the euro area, and all its most recent extensions. The last part provides the recent efforts towards the system of coincident turning point indicators for the business cycle, growth cycle and acceleration cycle, through univariate and multivariate Markov-Switching models. We discuss methods and applications to data concerning the euro area. We conclude that all these instruments efficiently complement traditional official statistics in the desired direction, providing a powerful framework for data analysis and diagnosis.

Golden Growth
Author: Indermit S. Gill
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821389653
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 515
Book Description
The report documents the impressive achievements of the European growth model over the last 50 years. Accounting for the stresses it is experiencing and assessing the longer-term challenges that Europe will face, the report then evaluates the six principal components of the model: Trade, Finance, Enterprise, Innovation, Labor, and Government. It finds that the European growth model has been a powerful engine for economic convergence, helping developing countries in Europe catch up to their richer neighbors and become high-income economies. But recent changes in and outside Europe necessitate change. The report proposes the adjustments needed to make trade and finance work even better, to encourage enterprise and innovation in parts of Europe which have begun to lag, and address shortcomings in the functioning of labor markets and governments. The changes proposed would restart the European convergence machine, make Europe's enterprises competitive, and help Europeans afford the highest standards of living in the world.
