Outline
IIP in UNIDO Statistical products
Estimation of recent year MVA using base weights and annual IIP
Nowcasting of IIP for recent years and estimation of missing values using econometric models
Use of IIP in deriving deflators for time-series analysis of production data
Estimation of world growth trends of industrial production using quarterly index data

IIP in UNIDO statistical products
UNIDO maintains international industrial statistical databases: INDSTAT, IDSB, World MVA database and MinSTAT (new)
Statistical products: International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics; Databases in CD ROM – INDSTAT2, INDSTAT4, IDSB, Statistical country brief (SCB) -online data portal available in: www.unido.org/statistics
Yearbook , INDSTAT2 and SCB presents Index numbers or/and data derived from the index numbers
Index numbers are collected from UNSD and OECD (for OECD countries) and supplemented with other sources or own estimates

Use of IIP in estimation of recent year MVA
Significant time-lag between reference year and data dissemination year – around 3 years
User’s demand for more recent year estimates
Basic estimation method: (1)where - estimated value added for tth year
- VA for base year t0 -
annual IIP for tth year compared to base year t0
Data available for 159 countries at 2-digit level of ISIC
www.unido.org/statistics
Base weights and IIP
Base weights – MVA for base year at current prices
Preferable valuation method - basic prices
IIP – fixed base annual indices (2000)
Deviations:Valuation method is not always at basic prices or it is not always
reported
there is no unique base year for all countries; so indices are chained to link to a common base year

Problems for imputation and forecasting
Base weights are pre-set, thus they are same every year so data are always available
IIP data naturally vary over periods, but they might also be trending indicating the uncertainty in changing pattern, which makes imputation and forecasting difficult
Trends can be non-linear; they might be different from one to another ISIC groups within a country
There might be extreme cases too, which are not easily explained

Nowcasting model for IIP
Nowcasting – estimation of index numbers up to the recent year
The parameters of models allow also to estimate the missing value
Dependent variable – IIP for an industry group (ISIC 2-digit)Explanatory variable - MVA (available in UNIDO database)
The model: (2)
suffix i, j, t stands for - industry country and year
Log model helped to reduce the effect of erratic changes on results
Computation is performed by SAS. When index numbers are ready VA is estimated using equation (1)

Major problems encountered
Difference in valuation of VA: basic prices and producer’s prices
Difference of base years across the countries
Not regularly updated weights, do not reflect the recent structure and growth of manufacturing sectors
Regional aggregation for some areas (especially Africa) based on few countries

IIP in UNIDO researchComputation of deflators using index
UNIDO gets VA data from NSOs at current prices- These data are fit for cross-country business structural analysis
- Users also need data for time-series analysis, but no deflator or PPI data are available by ISIC
An implicit deflator can be derived from the relation of current price data and IIP Change of VA at current prices and IIP are given as;
And their ratio gives an implicit deflator as given below:

Use of deflated data
Deflated data are not directly used for production growth analysis due to the nature of their approximation
However, data were found quite reliable for structural change and labour productivity analysis
Problems related to price change within a country can be solved through different methods; but the measurement of price variation across the countries is more complicated

Aggregated quarterly indices for the world MVA
The main objective is to monitor the world industrial growth trend
The data covers 40 sample countries which accounts for 90% of the world MVA
Weights are computed at the country level
Index numbers are obtained from the secondary data sources; mainly websites UNSD monthly bulletin, STAN database OECD and national web-sites

Concluding remarks
IIP are widely used in international statistical system not only for monitoring growth but also as an important supplementary data for estimation of level and structure indicators
Major quality issues are international comparability in terms of classification, methods of compilation and timeliness, especially in terms of weight updating
During the implementation stage of new recommendations differences may arise due to change in method of computation (e.g. from Lespeyres to chained Lespeyres). It is expected from NSOs that they revise the past series too when new method is introduced
