Redesigning the SPPI: Enhancing Efficiency and Quality in The Netherlands
This document outlines the redesign of the SPPI (Service Producer Price Index) in The Netherlands, led by PhD Marcel Spanjaard. It discusses key areas including production processes, sampling methods, classifications, and pricing strategies. The redesign aims to improve efficiency and data quality by implementing a top-down sampling tool and adopting new classification standards (NACE Rev. 2). By focusing on model pricing and conducting thorough analyses, the project strives to meet Eurostat obligations and ensure accurate representation of service industries.

Presentation Transcript
Re-design SPPI The Netherlands M. Spanjaard, PhD
Outline • Introduction • Production process • Sampling • Classification • “Pricemethods” • Comments
Introduction (1) • 10 people working on SPPI (~9FTE) • 23 branches
Introduction (2) • Re-design • efficiency • quality
Production process[old] • realised hourly rates: diff > 10% • modelpricing: diff > 5% • not efficient
Production process[new] • Topdown Tool • Only contact companies which have a significant influence on the indexmutation
Sampling[old] • stratum based on # of employees • (not on turnover!) • Fixed company weights • updated around every 5 years
Sampling[new] • PPS method • based on turnover • Census part • Sample part
top level of industry Freight Transport by Road Freight Transport by Road Moving services sub level B C A B A A lowest level / activities (CPA) bulk liquids or gases frozen or refrigerated goods petroleum products activities from companies
Classification[old] • NACE Rev 1 • Detailed level based on “own industry” • not CPA!
Classification[new] • NACE Rev 2 • Detailed level based on CPA • uniformity • sampling • EuroStat obligation
“Pricemethods”[old] • Unit values / realised hourly rates • Not a good pricingmethod for most industries • The re-design project “pricemethod” was not structured
“Pricemethods”[new] • Modelpricing • quality change • Organised re-design “project pricemethod” • 1- Initial research • 2- Company visits • 3- Pricing method proposal • 4- Method testing on subsample • 5- Analysis of results • 6- “In production”
