Data Change: Portugal subnational - Compensation, employment - Benchmark 2016
Thursday, 26 Mar 2020 09:30 ET
By Jason Flynn
Summary
March 2020 -- For the regional branch accounts of Portugal including compensation and employment by industry, concurrent with dissemination of results for 2018, the source has executed a five-year benchmark revision (401 annual series 2000 to 2017, replaced by 401 from 2016).
Detail

On the theme page, the source explained (citation):

In this section Statistics Portugal presents the new series of Regional Branch Accounts, with 2016 as benchmark year.

And in direct correspondence, the source explained:

Due to the new benchmark in National Accounts based in 2016, the recent Regional Accounts published only cover years 2016 to 2018. During the first semester of 2020 full series will be released. At some point this year, the series will have more history added.

In response, we have:

  1. Archived the predecessors by renaming with an "_16" specifier, marking metadata as discontinued, and segregating in the catalog. 
  2. Created one-for-one replacement series.

Notable properties (for full list, see background in Mnemonic 411):

  • Start date: Changed from 2000 to 2016 (temporarily)
  • Measurements: Unchanged

The series reside in the historical catalog:

  • Portugal » National Accounts » Branch Accounts » Compensation » Annual
  • Portugal » National Accounts » Branch Accounts » Employment by industry » Annual
  • Portugal » National Accounts » Branch Accounts » Discontinued » Base 2011 » Compensation
  • Portugal » National Accounts » Branch Accounts » Discontinued » Base 2011 » Employment by industry
