  6. Coherence vs Consistency Coherence: the extent to which differences between statistics can be attributed only to differences between to the true values of the characteristics they estimate Variable from domain a Time t Country a Outputs of the statistics Country b Variable from domain b Time t +1 Consistency: correspondence and uniformity among the parts of a complex system. Yearly Europe domain c Nation Processes of the statistics Quarterly domain a domain b Monthly Region

  8. The role of the Statistical Unit – present situation • ESSnet on consistency of concepts and methods of business-related statistics – 2010 project on statistical units: • Deliverable 1.1: Direction Report (by Norbert Rainer – STAT Austria). • Deliverable 3.1: Identification and evaluation of business statistics regulations inconsistency (by SarmiteProle andSvetlana Jesilevska- CSB Latvia). • Deliverable 3.2 part 1 and 2: Identification and evaluation of Member States inconsistency (by Monica Consalvi and Danila Filipponi- ISTAT Italy, Joseph Keating - CSO Ireland, Pierrette Schulz and Sylvie Mabile- INSEE France, Sarmite Prole and SvetlanaJesilevska- CSB Latvia, Kerstin Gruber - STAT Austria) It is well accepted the necessity to overcome the identified limitations and contradictions of the Regulation 696/93 and the need to increase the coherence of the European economic figures and to build consistent statistics. Must be understood as to avoid the risk of falling back into the same limitations and contradictions

  9. A consistent definition of a Statistical Unit. The route reduction of the “power” (needs) of the individual parts (each NSI, each domain) to guarantee an homogeneous “government of the system”. The willingness component The semantic component identification of the context, objective and scope National and/or European/global Competiveness profitability productivity or Physical production • Different contents of statistical unit definition • Different level and typology of coherence and consistency • Different “degree of rigor” in the application of the definition for various subpopulations

  10. A consistent definition of a Statistical Unit. The route The syntactic component. describes how a definition should be built Not permitting the deduction of a contradictions from the different part of the definition …can be constituted by one legal unit, a combination of legal units or of parts of legal units…… ……………………… can correspond to a single legal unit…, an enterprise group…, or …part of an enterprise group……. Do not use duplication of concepts Do not use generic concepts not well explained sells in its own will… which will? legal, economic, of ownership? Do not use verbs that allow a “free” interpretation Identifies clarifications and specifications for the practical and homogeneous implementation of the definition. The semiotics component.
