Methodology

The data are compiled cover the entire economy. 

Scope of data:

  • Transaction coverage: The production boundary is in accordance with the 2008 SNA. Estimates of illegal output are included for construction activities and illegal slaughtering of animals. Other illegal output sold to willing buyers is included if reported by households in the Household Expenditure Survey (HES).
  • Geographic coverage: Israel and Israeli localities in Judea and Samaria.

Moody's Analytics supplements

Where not reported, we construct component as additive identities: change in inventories, trade balance, statistical discrepancy.

Gross capital formation was not initially reported, but we were able to construct it via additive identity. As of 2022Q4 (disseminated April 2023) it was reported, retroactive to 2020Q1, so we back-extended to 1995Q1.

We seasonally adjust GDP(E) and its components at current prices, using the U.S. Census Bureau's X-13ARIMA-SEATS program.

Revisions

Yes. The source publishes three estimates for each quarter. The first estimate is usually published two months after the end of the reference period (e.g.: in mid-May for Q1). The second and final estimates are released in the following two consecutive months (e.g.: mid-June and mid-July for Q1).
