3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions

The supply and use tables are matrices by products and industries describing the domestic production process in detail (the structure of production costs and the income generated in the production process) and the flows of goods and services (output, imports, exports, intermediate and final consumption, investments) by product groups. The supply table shows the supply of goods and services by product and by type of supplier, distinguishing output by domestic industries and imports. The supply table is compiled at basic prices. For the transformation into purchaser’s prices, additional columns for trade and transport margins, taxes and subsidies on products are added.

The use table at purchaser’s prices shows the use of goods and services by product and by type of use. Furthermore, the table shows the structure of intermediate consumption and the value added generated by industry.

By definition, the total of each row in the supply table is equal to the corresponding row in the use table (provided supplies and uses are valued consistently). The column totals for each industry in supply table (output at basic prices) are equal to the column totals in use table (intermediate consumption plus value added).

10.7. Quality documentation

According to Commission implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2304, the quality report on data transmitted pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council

11. Quality management
11.1. Quality assurance

To assure the quality of processes and products, Statistics Estonia applies the EFQM Excellence Model, the European Statistics Code of Practice and the Quality Assurance Framework of the European Statistical System (ESS QAF). Statistics Estonia is also guided by the requirements in § 7. “Principles and quality criteria of producing official statistics” of the Official Statistics Act.

11.2. Quality assessment

Statistics Estonia performs all statistical activities according to an international model (Generic Statistical Business Process Model – GSBPM). According to the GSBPM, the final phase of statistical activities is overall evaluation using information gathered in each phase or sub-process; this information can take many forms, including feedback from users, process metadata, system metrics and suggestions from employees. This information is used to prepare the evaluation report which outlines all the quality problems related to the specific statistical activity and serves as input for improvement actions.

12. Relevance
12.1. User needs

Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications

Ministry of Finance

Eesti Pank (central bank of Estonia)

Research institutions and universities

12.2. User satisfaction

Since 1996, Statistics Estonia has conducted reputation and user satisfaction surveys. All results are available on the website of Statistics Estonia in the section User surveys.

12.3. Completeness

In compliance with the ESA2010 transmission programme

13. Accuracy and reliability
13.1. Overall accuracy

The accuracy of source data is monitored by assessing the methodological soundness of data sources and the adherence to the methodological recommendations.

13.2. Sampling error

Not applicable

13.3. Non-sampling error

Not measured

14. Timeliness and punctuality
14.1. Timeliness

The data are published 1,080 days after the end of the reference year (T + 1080).

14.2. Punctuality

The data have been published at the time announced in the release calendar.

15. Coherence and comparability
15.1. Comparability - geographical

The geographical comparability of national accounts in Member States of the European Union is ensured by the application of common definitions of the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). Worldwide geographical comparison is also possible as most non-European countries apply the System of National Accounts (SNA 2008) guidelines, and SNA 2008 is consistent with ESA 2010.

15.2. Comparability - over time

The supply and use tables (abbreviated SUT in the database) for 2000–2009 are compiled according to the European System of Accounts (ESA) 95 and the supply and use tables for 2010 according to ESA 95 and ESA 2010. Starting from 2011, the supply and use tables are compiled according to ESA 2010 only.

The supply and use tables compiled according to Estonian Classification of Economic Activities (EMTAK) 2008 (based on NACE Rev. 2) and Statistical Classification of Products by Activity in the European Economic Community (CPA) 2008 are comparable over time from 2008 onwards. Before that, in 2000–2007, the supply and use tables were compiled according to EMTAK 2003 and CPA 2002.

15.3. Coherence - cross domain

Within the system of national accounts there is full consistency between the domains: supply and use tables, annual and quarterly national accounts, government accounts, sector accounts, financial accounts, regional accounts. However, in practice full consistency may not always be possible and temporary discrepancies might occur. They are usually the result of vintage differences.

Primary statistics like structural business statistics (SBS), short term statistics (STS) and labour force statistics (LFS) are widely used as input for national accounts. However, there is no full consistency between these statistical domains and national accounts. Main reasons are differences in concepts/definitions and in coverage. Balance of payments is also used as an important source for national accounts. The definitions and coverage of balance of payments, as defined in the BPM6 manual, are fully harmonised with those in ESA 2010. Therefore, balance of payments variables are in principle fully coherent with the corresponding national accounts variables.

15.4. Coherence - internal

Within the system of national accounts there is full consistency between the domains: supply and use tables, annual and quarterly national accounts, government accounts, sector accounts, financial accounts, regional accounts. However, in practice full consistency may not always be possible and temporary discrepancies might occur. They are usually the result of vintage differences.

16. Cost and burden

17. Data revision
17.1. Data revision - policy

The data revision policy and notification of corrections are described in the section Principles of dissemination of official statistics of the website of Statistics Estonia.

17.2. Data revision - practice

The published data may be revised if the methodology is modified, errors are discovered, new or better data become available.

The supply and use tables for 2010 were revised in 2014 in accordance with the new ESA 2010 methodology.

18. Statistical processing

Balance of Payments data are received from the Eesti Pank (the central bank of Estonia).

DATA FROM OTHER STATISTICAL ACTIVITIES

Data from statistical activities 20003 “Financial statistics of agricultural, forestry and fishing enterprises (annual)”, 20205 “Energy consumption and production (monthly)”, 20206 “Energy consumption and production (annual)”, 20300 “Financial statistics of enterprises (annual)”, 20401 “Construction price index”, 20403 “Export price index”, 20404 “Import price index”, 20407 “Consumer price index”, 20408 “Producer price index of industrial output”, 20413 “Service producer price index”, 20902 “Statistics of economic units”, 21207 “Economic accounts for agriculture”, 21300 “Financial statistics of financial service activities and activities auxiliary to financial services (annual)”, 21303 “Government finance”, 21401 “National accounts (annual)”, 22015 “Transport by railway”, 22029 “Transport of passengers and goods by transport enterprises”, 22031 “Water transport”, 22032 “Air transport”, 22203 “Manufactured goods and industrial services”, 22303 “Foreign trade” and 40701 “Labour Force Survey” are used.

18.2. Frequency of data collection

Annual

18.3. Data collection

Administrative data are obtained from FTP-server and via X-Road, directly from a database, as an Excel table by e-mail and from the website of the data source.

18.4. Data validation

Arithmetic and qualitative controls are used in the validation process, including comparison with other data. Before data dissemination, their internal coherence is checked.

18.5. Data compilation

The collected data are converted into statistical output. This includes calculation of additional indicators. The supply and use tables are compiled and balanced both at basic and purchaser’s prices.

GDP at previous year’s prices is compiled within the framework of the supply and use tables. This results in a consistent and integrated set of estimates for GDP at previous year’s prices by production and expenditure approaches.

The supply and use tables of year t at current prices are compiled in previous year’s prices of t-1 using double deflation method with chain-linking. Double deflation means that the output and intermediate consumption for the different industries are deflated separately. Value added at previous year’s prices by industry is estimated as the difference between output and intermediate consumption of goods and services at previous year’s prices. With the chain-linking method, the weights are derived from the supply and use tables for previous year t-1 at current prices.
