The unit in charge of this indicator tries to achieve a high level of coherence within the given data set (e.g. sub-aggregates / aggregates, etc.) |
|
|||
The following cost and burden covers both national and European needs: costs NSI : 405 hours/year burden KAUs: 491 hours/year |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
In the field of STS, Statec has no official release or revision calendar. Data dissemination depends on the deadlines foreseen in the STS regulation. Revisions are made each time whenever, completed or corrected figures are available. The revised results are used for national releases as well as for the data transmission to the European Commission. Users are only informed about the reasons of non-scheduled revisions if the revisions are considered to be important. |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
In the field of STS, revisions are made each time when newer, completed or corrected figures for the different variables are available. There is no official revision calendar or regular process. The data and level of revisions depend on the data available. It is impossible to quantify the expected average size of revisions, for the same reason, users cannot be informed in advance of major revisions. For several reasons, data can be updated after the first release of results: availability of corrected or completed data, correction of methodological or technical errors, confrontation with QNA data, etc. Calculations (2020-2022) based on vintage figures transmitted by EUROSTAT to STATEC: |
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
Prices are provided monthly by KAUs by a specific survey. Questionnaires are transmitted to Statec by e-mail. In the case of the industrial producer prices, there is no utilisation of administrative data.Additional sources are used for the weights (SBS, business register): |
|||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | |||
monthly survey on producer prices in industry |
|||
18.3. Data collection | |||
Data is transmitted to STATEC by e-mail. Data is checked before the electronic processing (completeness, logical errors, high deviations from the normal level, etc.). |
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
The following data checks are performed:
|
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
Missing informations are imputed according to a set of internal rules by using figures of comparable months for the same KAU or other KAUs in a comparable activity branch. A fixed base price index is used, with weights from reference year 2015 and base price equal to the average monthly price of 2015. Explicit weights are defined down to the product level. When products are replaced, indices are linked by defining a new base price for the new product. If there is need to slightly adjust samples, weights are adjusted accordingly. |
|||
18.6. Adjustment | |||
There is no specific adjustment for this indicator |
