  1. OECD OCDE ORGANISATION DE COOPÉRATION ET DE DEVELOPMENT ÉCONOMIQUES Globalisation, production and trade indicators ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Presentation by A. Lindner OECD/STD Agenda item 11 a) of the Joint ITS-TIS Session 27th April 2004 at OECD 1 STATISTICS DIRECTORATE TRADE & STRUCTURAL ECONOMIC STATISTICS SECTION

  2. Genesis: The first major event • OECD organised a first international Roundtable meeting on 30 September 2002, bringing together • OECD Globalisation work (HEGI) • OECD FDI work • OECD Trade Statistics and Business Statistics • WTO, ITC • ICE and University of L’Aquila

  3. Comprehensive stocktaking was undertaken by STD of available databases and indicators at OECD and also outside OECD • Result: wealth of information available across OECD, but “isolated”: • AFA – Activities of Foreign Affiliates • FATS – Foreign Affiliates Trade In Services • FDI – Foreign Direct Investment • Market Access Database

  4. Stocktaking (continued) • STAN Database for Industrial Analysis • Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard • SEC - Statistics on Enterprises by Size Classes • SSIS – Structural Statistics for Industry and Services • International Trade in Services • MSIT – Monthly Statistics for International Trade • ITCS – International Trade by Commodity Statistics • International Trade and Competitiveness Indicators

  5. What happened in 2003? • After this comprehensive review: • It became clear that at OECD 3-4 Directorates are key to work together to build up and link indicators to avoid duplication and conceptual differences ( or even contradictions) • Data/Indicators were scrutinized and selected parts presented to delegates • Help from specialized agencies and external expertise is most welcome to contribute as well.

  6. The 2nd major event: ITS/TIS Meeting April 2003 • A 2nd major event was the last April 2003 ITS-TIS Joint Session, where A TAXONOMY of Statistical Indicators for the Analysis of International Trade and Production was presented • The Handbook (HEGI) was presented in detail by DSTI • In Autumn 2003, a STD analysis and feasibility study of policy openness/restrictiveness indicators was carried out (using the taxonomy as reference)

  7. Looking ahead 2004 + • Some facts: • Specialized agencies (e.g. WTO, ITC, CFCE, CEPII, ICE) clearly voiced the need to elaborate indicators which link to the extend possible different (existing) databases and to explore scope for possible extensions and new developments

  8. Towards a scoreboard of indicators • Economic globalisation requires different approaches, encompassing FDI, MNEs, Ownership, Internationalisation/relocation of production inputs, processes, outputs, new forms of trade (e.g.digitized products) • Trade PLUS production is needed • Trade PLUS employment is needed

  9. This is why OECD did a major breakthrough in business statistics • Detailed and better quality SBS data with Eurostat data sourcing to save resources and reduce response burden • For the first time SEC data (structural business statistics by economic size class) are available using an innovative software approach • OECD is since 2003 member of the Eurostat-UNECE-OECD Steering Group on Business Registers and participates actively in meetings and Roundtable discussions

  10. The next steps: • Use to the maximum extend the momentum gained through the Istanbul Ministerial meeting (= implementation of recommendations) • Use SBSNet (created February 2004 under the auspices of SWIC) to further develop target methodologies and definitions • Development of SME Indicators are an explicit part of the above

  11. The next steps: • Concerning trade: • Optimize the joint UNSD/OECD database and extend coverage to trade in services (underway) • Use the TAXONOMY as useful methodological framework and intensify cooperation with ICE • Consult with stakeholders (producers + users)

  12. The next steps: • Select indicators which are policy-relevant in close coordination and consultation: • Within OECD (DSTI, DAFFE, ECO etc.) • With other IOs (WTO, ITC) • With other specialized agencies (= ICE) and Academia

  13. The Work Program • By its diversity and experience, OECD clearly is best suited and also advanced to do this horizontal, multi-disciplinary task • Select list of (feasible) candidates for inclusion and division of labour • Agree on milestones of action plan (outputs) including delivery dates • Ensure adequate, sustained resource base

  14. An OECD Micro-level database? • The ITS and SBS meetings highlighted developments underway in a number of OECD countries to extend analysis to firm-level and to (regionally identified) trading patterns • OECD could play a role in coordinating these efforts and to build up a co-operative network of expertise and a fresh look at competitiveness and related indicators
