Summary

July 2011 -- We announce a broad range of national and subnational quarterly estimates for Ireland.

Detail

As of July 2011, Moody's Analytics Data Buffet offers new estimates of national and subnational economic data for Ireland. Economic sectors include demographics, income, labor and wages, national accounts, and real estate. All estimated series have a quarterly frequency. Start dates vary, but are as early as 1970. Geographically, we estimate for the nation, regions, regional authorities, aggregates of cities of counties, and metropolitan areas; exact coverage at each level varies.

Please see the related article for the list of five metropolitan areas that we have defined for the purposes of our Global Cities estimates and forecasts.

The subnational estimates dataset for Ireland is part of the Moody's Analytics Global Database product. Please contact your sales representative for details.

Table 1. Indicator and geographic coverage. For seven indicators (blue cells) concept wild cards indicate that we provide a breakdown, otherwise we estimate only the headline indicator. Certain indicators are available for only selected areas within a geographic level (yellow cell, denoted by an asterisk "*"), but most have full coverage of all areas ("###"). To jump into the Data Buffet catalog, append the geo code ".IIRL" to a concept code, and search using "find in catalog" mode.

Table 2. Geographic structures for Ireland: Official and Moody's Analytics. We republish historical data or produce estimates for all major areas at the following geographic levels. Each level has a distinctive geo code; e.g., regions (and only regions) have codes that consist of the prefix "IIRL_" followed by two letters. To retrieve all available areas for an indicator, combine the concept code with the geo code wild card, e.g. RPOPQ.IIRL_^^.
