| Description | At best, economic decision making would need the data real-time, however, because of the need for gathering the statistical data this is not possible. Therefore, a reasonable request from the decision-makers is as soon as possible. But what is as soon as possible for first estimates in terms of quality? This session will discuss two examples in timely estimate of economic indicators: a) recently started GDP at 30 days for Europe and b) the plans and methodology for monthly volume indicator of services in Europe. The user views on early estimates will be given and discussed. |
