Participants in the Special Meeting on National Accounts held in February 1980 requested the Secretariat to prepare a report on service lives of capital assets. Estimating service lives is one of the more difficult problems in using the perpetual inventory method to calculate capital stocks. While an earlier OECD report, The Measurement of Capital (40), had touched on the problem, participants agreed that this was an area where a more detailed study of country practices would be useful. A consultant, M. Pierre Teillet, was asked to conduct a survey of country practices and to prepare an initial report, which was briefly discussed at the Special Meeting on National Accounts held in June 1981. The present study, which has been prepared by the Economic Statistics and National Accounts Division of the ESD, draws both on the earlier work by M. Teillet and on the substantial quantity of reports, working papers and other documentation on capital stock estimates supplied by statistical ...

This manual explains what GDP and GNI and their components are and what they mean. It shows how they are used and what they are used for. And it does this in an easily understood way. Opening with a chapter showing how national accounts concepts relate to macroeconomics, the books goes on to systematically deal with volume and prices, international comparability, production, final uses, household accounts, business accounts, government accounts, and financial accounts. It also has chapter on how national accounts data are gathered and the history of the national accounts system. Three special chapters examine national accounts in China, India, and the United States. Previously published only in French, this manual has been revised and expanded to have a truly global perspective.

La présente note traite des différences sur échanges, c'est-à-dire de l'écart entre le chiffre d'un flux d'importation et celui qui concerne (apparemment) le même flux considéré comme exportation. Par définition, on posera ici que les différences sur échanges sont égales à (M-X/M) 100, où M et X sont, respectivement, les importations enregistrées dans les statistiques du commerce extérieur d'un pays comme venant d'un partenaire donné et les exportations enregistrées dans les statistiques de ce partenaire comme partant à destination du pays considéré. La présente étude vise à examiner pourquoi des différences existent, à en déterminer l'ampleur et à voir si elles ont varié depuis une dizaine d'années. L'étude s'appuyant sur le fichier de statistiques du commerce extérieur de l'OCDE, se limite aux échanges entre pays de l'OCDE. Par ailleurs, elle ne s'intéresse qu'aux données exprimées en valeur, et jusqu'à présent rien n'a été entrepris pour étudier les écarts entre les notifications ...

The Compatible Trade and Production data base (COMTAP) consists of annual statistics on production, imports and exports of manufactured goods. The key feature of this data base is that both the production and trade statistics are classified according to the same nomenclature, namely, the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC). The conversion of both trade and production statistics to the ISIC is approximate because there is usually no direct correspondence between the ISIC and the classification in which the trade and production data are reported to the OECD. This report describes the contents of COMTAP , some of the analytic uses to which it can be put, and the problems encountered in setting up the COMTAP data base. Finally, some examples are given of how the data base can be used to calculate "market penetration ratios" for 13 OECD countries over the period 1970 to 1983. The annexes present some of the COMTAP data in summary form ...
