REGIONAL LINKING ICP 2005 ROUND
Past Practice: Bridge Countries Disadvantage: Reliance on single links
Principles of Ring Linking • 1. Ring product list is created (because Regional lists have limited overlap); • 2. Regional fixity is retained at BH level; • 3. Regional BH parities are produced with CPRD; • 4. Ring Region is used for linking only [with a CPRD-style index].
FIXITY • Item level • BH level • GDP level • All aggregates
Fixity at the GDP level (OECD) • Version 1. Running full global BH matrix, with each OECD country as a separate entity, then the OECD total is redistributed on the basis of the regional OECD comparison. • Version 2. Creating an OECD “country” to be included in the global comparison, then the OECD “country’s” GDP is redistributed on the basis of the regional OECD comparison.
