Objectives
Provide the quantitative inputs for the EU KLEMS Productivity Database on a country-by-country basis with respect to output and intermediate inputs at industry level.
Develop guidelines for harmonization of I/O tables across countries.
Integration of imports and exports as part of I/O table construction.
Carry out methodological research related to measurement of output and intermediate inputs, in particular linkage of
measures from national accounts and I/O tables.
Description of work
Obtain measures of gross output and intermediate inputs value at industry level. Output should preferably be at basic prices and intermediate inputs at purchaser prices. Intermediate inputs broken down into energy inputs, material inputs
and service inputs.
Obtain measures of output and intermediate input prices to deflate value series.
Develop guidelines on basis of international conventions, including SNA93, ESA95 and Eurostat Handbook on Input-Output Tables.
Harmonize procedures and sources for data on balance of payments, trade data, etc., with I/O tables.
Sources are Input-Output Tables for individual countries, from Eurostat and OECD; GGDC and NIESR databases, where possible extended to obtain greater industry detail (see Appendix A) and additional breakdowns on the basis of census/industry survey information.
Methodological research may focus on topics including measurement of output in services (market services and public services), aggregation issues and sectoral output (for Domar weighting), the existence of value added functions, the consistency of double-deflated estimates of value added with official estimates of value added volume series, double
deflation in relative price measurement implications of price concepts (basic prices, factor cost, purchaser prices, and related treatment of taxes and subsidies), relationship between output and input prices of similar items, treatment of financial intermediation services, treatment of imputed rent, measurement of quality change and in particular the use of hedonic prices for ICT output and inputs (see also WP3). Determination of the definitive research agenda depend on key priorities emerging from meetings on data construction (in months 2 and 9).
