WORKSHOP ON INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS 19-21 March 2013, Kishinev, Moldova Geostat
Currently used activity and product classifications • NACE Rev. 1.1., national classification • CPA (1996) • ISCO-88 • HS (2012) • COICOP and other classifications
Ongoing revisions • NACE 1.1 -> NACE rev. 2 (to be completed in 2013) • CPA to follow • ISCO-88 -> ISCO-08
State of implementation • Development of national version of NACE classification is starting, Statistics Sweden is supporting the process • Implementation in Business register and business statistics survey to start in 2014, followed by national accounts in 2015
Specific issues encountered with the activity classifications • Non-mandatory nature of surveys in the country • Institutional independence of Geostat and official adoption of classifications (now through the government) • Involvement of other agencies: scope, extent and coordination • Development of national classification: trade-off between the interest for needed information vs. information quality (non-mandatory surveys) • Decision on parallel running of two NACE versions: how long to keep both versions in which areas (business, statistics, national accounts) • Recoding: one-to-one and one-to-many relationships
Issues related to time series • Preliminary decision is to keep double coding for at least one year in both business statistics and national accounts surveys • Dual coding will be used based on EU and national correspondence tables • Recalculation planned for 3 to 5 years back
