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

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

Book Description
The public debt crisis in Europe has shaken the confidence not just in the Euro, but in the European model. Aging and uneconomical Europeans are being squeezed between innovative Americans and efficient Asians, it is said. With debt and demographics dragging down them down, one hears that European economies will not grow much unless radically new ways are discovered. The end of complacency in Europe is a good thing, but this loss of confidence could be dangerous. The danger is that in a rush to rejuvenate growth, the attractive attributes of the European development model could be abandoned along with the weak. In fact, the European growth model has many strong points and enviable accomplishments. One can say without exaggeration that Europe had invented a convergence machine , taking in poor countries and helping them become high income economies. World Bank research has identified 27 countries that have grown from middle-income to high income since 1987: a few thanks to the discovery and exploitation of massive natural resources (e.g.: oil in Oman and Trinidad and Tobago), several others like Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea, embracing aggressive export-led strategies which involved working and saving a lot, postponing political liberties, and looking out only for themselves. But half of the countries that have grown from middle income to high income Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, and Slovenia are actually in Europe. This is why the European model was so attractive and unique, and why with some well designed efforts it ought to be made right again.
