  1. Action plan arising from the Guide “Impact of Globalization on National Accounts” UNECE Statistical Division 27 October 2011

  2. The Globalization Guide • Provides recommendations and best practices on how to deal with the impact of globalization on national accounts • Developed 2007-2011 by the Group of Experts on the Impact of Globalisation on National accounts, under the guidance of the Leadership Group • March-April 2011: electronic consultation with all CES member countries and organizations • June 2011: CES endorsed the Guide

  3. Content of the Globalization Guide 12 core chapters in three main groups: Multinational enterprises Trade in goods and services, and global manufacturing Household-related issues Specific country experiences are presented as annexes to the chapters Addendum on the impact of the financial crisis Chapter 14 brings together the suggestions for further work from earlier chapters and proposes international fora that can advance the work 03 January 2020

  4. The way ahead and a research agenda • The Guide does not address or solve all issues related to the impact of globalization • Meeting the statistical challenges presented by globalization will require continuing international cooperation • Issues for further work includes: • Continuation of initiatives already started • Conceptual issues • Measurement issues • Practical steps in data collection and presentation • Exchanges of data and best practice

  5. Continuation of initiatives already started IMF’s Coordinated Direct Investment Survey OECD Working Group on International Investment and its network of investment experts OECD Task Force on IPPs The forthcoming Eurostat Task Forces on R&D and on Goods for processing Work on improving remittance and related data e.g. Global Remittances Working Group and The Suitland Working Group Environmental issues on national accounts, implications of 2008 SNA to SEEA 03 January 2020

  6. Conceptual issues Global manufacturing/production, including international transactions in IPPs and merchanting of services SPEs: A harmonized definition and further clarification on conceptual issues to improve the comparability of SPEs across countries International labour movements: links between labour statistics and national accounts Second homes: property be deemed to produce housing services continuously, or only when occupied? E-commerce and outsourcing provide challenges for appropriate price deflators 03 January 2020

  7. Measurement issues Measurement and data issues related to the new standards on goods for processing and merchanting Challenge of import substitution and e-commerce data for price statistics (data sources, quality adjustments) Use of administrative data to estimate economic activities of complex enterprise structures: quasi-transit trade Recording and estimating remittances: practical issues related to emerging transfer methods Measurement of the stock of second homes abroad, and the correction for average occupation time 03 January 2020

  8. Practical steps in data collection and presentation Business surveys: better use (or additional questions) and linking with international trade data at enterprise level Special surveys of large MNEs Separate coding of goods for processing in merchandise trade. In the long run, development of trade documents allowing compilation of data both on physical flows and economic transactions More intensive use of household surveys e.g. cross-border labour mobility, remittances, e-commerce Better use of administrative sources, including tax registers Additional analytical tables for international labour movements Presentation of national accounts with and without SPEs 03 January 2020

  9. Exchanges of data and best practice Exchanges of data and bilateral comparisons between countries on: FDI Labour movements and remittances Non-resident dwellings (asymmetries in TSA) Exchanges of best recording practice among countries as complement to international standards 03 January 2020

  10. Prioritization of further work After country consultations, the following topics have been identified as priorities for future work: Conceptual and practical measurement issues in relation to global manufacturing The recording of international transactions in IPPs Outstanding measurement and data issues related to the implementation of the new standards on goods for processing and merchanting A conceptual framework for dealing with SPEs, including a harmonized definition 03 January 2020
