Annual coherence adjustments in the National Accounts (63.9 Kb Pdf)

The UK national accounts aim to present a fully consistent picture of the UK economy. In practice, the data sources used in the accounts are subject to statistical error and complete coherence between measures of economic activity is not achieved without making specific adjustments.

For years, except the most recent, these adjustments are made at current prices using Supply and Use tables through the Input-Output framework.

This article describes the background to the adjustments, how they are made and details the adjustments made to the 1999 Blue Book data.

It was presented at an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) meeting of national accounts experts in September 1999.
