Fourth Regional Statistical Research Seminar

Presented to the CARICOM Fourth Regional Statistical Research SeminarBelize City, Belize

October 28th, 2011

Objectives

• Introducing ICT

• Vision

• Compilation practices

• Measuring results/findings

• Data gaps

• Enhancing data

• Getting started

• Resources


Introducing ICT

• The term “ICT” covers a diversity ofinformation and communication technologyproducts - goods and services – that areprimarily intended to fulfil or enable thefunction of information processing andcommunication by electronic means, includingtransmission and display (OECD, 2009a)


Defining the ICT sector


Defining the ICT sector

• Definition of the ICT sector by the OECD

– For manufacturing industries, the products of a candidate industrymust be intended to fulfill the function of information processingand communication including transmission and display

– For services industries, the products of a candidate industry mustbe intended to enable the function of information processing andcommunication by electronic means

• CARICOM’s regional definition also includes elements of retailindustries, renting and leasing activities, activities of call centers andrepair of consumer electronics, and ICT Media and Content industries

• Total of 162 businesses in the ICT sector in Bermuda (including mediaand content industries)


Vision

• To get a comprehensive picture of the ICT sector in Bermuda

• This includes collecting statistics to measure:

(a) the contribution to GDP

(b) trade in ICT goods and services

(c) the number of persons employed in ICT sectors (d) business use of ICT

(e) capital expenditure on ICT goods


Compilation Practices

• Business establishment surveys are the basis ofthe collection of ICT statistics

• Data collected on income, expenses, capitalexpenditure, employment and business use ofICT.

• Sample data are stratified by income and thenblown up using a ratio of sample hours worked tototal hours worked for that 5 digit level ISIC class.


Survey sources and supplements


Contribution of ICT to GDP

• Two methods can be used to calculate the impact of ICT at the macro level:

– Method 1: Take the perspective of ICT industries and their contribution to growth

– Method 2: Treat ICT as capital inputs in a growth accounting framework

Note: Business sector excludes Agriculture, hunting and forestry, Real estate activities

and community, social and personal services


ICT contribution to growth: Method 2

• Contribution of ICT to overall output growth can be measured by the rate of change of ICT investment, weighted by its share in total income.

• Y = Kα (AL)1- α

• Therefore change in growth caused by change in ICT capital investment =

Future work in ICT statistics

• Collecting missing core indicators for business use of ICT

• Expand the collection of core list of indicators to other areas of interest such as ICT in education, government and health

• Producing an annual ICT publication based on survey results


Producing ICT indicators: Getting started

• Enhance the statistical business registers

• Raise awareness among different stakeholders and policymakers. Coordination is key.

• NSOs should help to set statistical standards specifically targeted at collecting official statistics and measuring the impact of ICT:– Industry-based definitions of the ICT sector and content and media

sector (harmonisation)– An ICT goods and an ICT services classification– Narrow and broad definitions of electronic commerce transactions– Model surveys of ICT use by businesses and households/individuals– Could include methodologies for econometric approaches and model

questions for perceived impacts


Producing ICT indicators: Getting started

• Accelerate the building of capacity for the production of relevant statistics

• Knowledge transfer can be achieved through workshops, seminars and training

• Produce metadata documents on ICT compilation

• Develop a national database to store/analyse survey results. Share results with key stakeholders.
