N. 22, July 2015 - Revisions of quarterly GDP in selected OECD countries (PDF)
Quarterly estimates of GDP are of crucial importance for the analysis of economic conditions that support economic policy-making and business planning. These estimates are used by a wide variety of policymakers, financial analysts, researchers, forecasting agencies and many other parties that engage in economic activities. But how certain are we that quarterly economic growth estimates are of good quality? This Statistics Brief analyses revisions to quarterly GDP growth rates for 18 OECD countries from the fourth quarter of 1994 to the fourth quarter of 2013. It looks at the magnitude of the revisions to economic growth and its underlying expenditure components. |
