Quarterly National Accounts in the Baltic States - Sources and Methods of Estimation

This is probably the first comprehensive description of the data sources and the methods used to compile estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) on a quarterly basis in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. The information is presented both in summary table form for comparison across countries, and in country-specific chapters. Throughout the publication, particular attention is paid to the methods used to take account of the "non-observed" economy, and estimates of the various non-observed elements are included.

Focus

The aim of the Handbook is to identify and promote best practice for measurement of the non-observed economy that is consistent with international standards.
