System of National Accounts

• '''Satellite data''' imported from other statistical agencies for use in standardized SNA satellite accounts (for example tourism, health, labour utilization etc.). This material can be supplied to SNA ready-made, or it can be adjusted somewhat for alignment with SNA standards.

• '''Mathematical models''' which estimate the value for particular accounting items using observed trends in related contemporaneous data which are already available. Models are not only used for sample surveys. They are also used to extrapolate data sets which are too costly or impossible to obtain from an alternative source. Models are also useful to test the reliability of the data series that are produced. Quarterly economic data is often obtained with the aid of mathematical models and leading indicators that can reliably predict the quarterly trends.

Models are not only used for sample surveys. They are also used to extrapolate data sets which are too costly, impractical or impossible to obtain from an alternative source. Models are also useful to test the reliability of the data series that are produced. Quarterly economic data is often obtained with the aid of mathematical models and leading empirical indicators that can reliably predict the quarterly trends.

• '''Price indexes''', including price and volume indexes for traded goods and services; consumer price indexes; producer price indexes for inputs and outputs; capital expenditure indexes; asset price indexes; export and import price indexes; real estate and construction cost indexes. A national statistics office in the larger countries typically uses 500 to 2000 price indexes. Most price indexes are usually produced by the national statistics office itself, but in some cases, they are produced by other government agencies, by research institutions, or by foreign agencies. They are crucial for the accurate estimation and uniform valuation of entries in the national accounts.
