In response, we have:
- Archived the predecessors (currency reference year 2000, 2006 to 2013) by renaming with an "_13" specifier and by marking as "discontinued".
- Created replacements (2005), which start at 2001. Geo coverage is the country and all 47 prefectures. Figures are millions of Japanese yen at current prices (Mil. JPY) or chained year-2005 prices (Mil. Ch. 2005 JPY). The national accounts framework is SNA 1993.
- Assigned standardized mnemonics.
The series reside in the historical catalog (Japan » National Accounts » Prefectural Accounts » By value add » Reference 2005) and include, for example:
- NACSGVAGDP_13UA.IJPN = [DISCONTINUED] Gross Value Added: Gross prefectural product, (Mil. Ch. 2000 JPY)
- NALSGVAMN_13UA.IJPN_TO = [DISCONTINUED] Mining, (Mil. JPY) - for Tokyo
- NACSGVAMFR1UA.IJPN_OK = Manufacturing, (Mil. Ch. 2005 JPY) - for Okinawa
- NALSGVAEGR1UA.IJPN_IB = Electricity; gas; water, (Mil. JPY) - for Ibaraki
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
About the dataset
The prefectural accounts are reported only in Japanese.
Gross prefectural product equals output of all private industries, plus taxes and duties on imports, less consumption taxes for gross capital formation.
The source reports three broad aggregates: market producers ("industry"), producers of government services, and producers of private non-profit services. "Private industry" is alternately broken into primary, secondary and tertiary sectors.
The dataset is organized with a combination of JSIC single branches and custom aggregates, and we do not have the composition of the latter. At this level of detail, JSIC Rev. 12 and Rev. 13 are identical; there are differences from Rev. 11, but they are obscured by the aggregates.
By comparison:
- National accounts, SNA 2008, at 2011 prices, most recent year 2016
- Prefectural accounts, SNA 1993, at 2005 prices, most recent year 2014
About our extract
The prefectural accounts include series for each prefecture and for Japan. To avoid collision with the corresponding national series in the national accounts, those concept codes contain our standard specifier "R1"; and for consistency across the prefectural accounts, all of the concept codes contain "R1" even when there is no risk of collision.
Although the custom industry aggregates do not clearly align with JSIC, they do seem to align with the national accounts, and we have assigned consistent concept codes to facilitate retrieval and comparison between the two datasets.
