Content presentation • Background • Changes 2008 SNA • Discussion points a. Conceptual b. Measurement related • Way forward Global Production
1. Background • Changes 2008 SNA • Globalisation guide • Global manufacturing (or production more generally) as cross cutting issue (chapter 8) • Further investigation of unsolved issues Global Production
2. Key changes 2008 SNA and BPM6 • No exceptions to recording transactions on basis of economic ownership • Implications recording of processing, merchanting, intra-company trade • .. Global Production
2. Key changes 2008 SNA and BPM6 1993 SNA recording (‘gross’): Principal Processor (G) 50 (G) 80 2008 SNA recording (‘net’): Processor Principal (S) 30 Global Production
2. Key changes 2008 SNA and BPM6 • No exceptions to recording transactions on basis of economic ownership • Implications recording of processing, merchanting, intra-company trade • R&D capitalization→ Capital flows→ Capital services flows Global Production
3a. Conceptual discussion points • Categorisation of global production arrangements • Factory-less producers • .. Global Production

Global Production
3a. Conceptual discussion points • Categorisation of global production arrangements • Factory-less producers • Identifying economic ownership within the multinational • Multi-territory enterprises (pro-rating)such as construction companies and project vendors • Recording intra company R&D flows Global Production
3b. Measurement issues • Merchant trade statistics based on cross border registration (processing, merchanting) • Measuring inventories abroad (idem) • Asymmetry outward processing • .. Global Production
Principal-processor relationships in the Netherlands of 35 selected companies, turn over in billion € 3b. Measurement issues Remark: the -6,5 billion € production value adjustment shouldnot show up in macro totals Global Production
3b. Measurement issues • Merchant trade statistics based on cross border registration (processing, merchanting) • Measuring inventories abroad (idem) • Asymmetry outward processing • Intellectual property (legal versus economic ownership) • Big and complex cases units (…, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, …): determining the domestic economic activities of multinationals Global Production
Current and further work in this area • Eurostat taskforce on goods for processingbuilding on the globalisation guide • CES working group global production (to be expected) • ESSnet project on measuring global value chains (a micro level research) • IARIW Conference 2012 session (8a) – ‘How to capture multinationals in national accounts?’ Global Production
