Pilot Study
Surveys 2006-2008
Results

Background

Government investigation - Need for expansion of
ICT statistics
National Account allocation between
intermediate consumption and gross fixed capital
formation, structure of use
Productivity analyses

Eurostat Pilot Action

Launched 2005
Pilot Study aim to test methods
10 countries participated

Pilot Study Variables

IT goods (hardware) (Expenditure and Investment)
Telecommunications goods (Expenditure and
Investment)
Pre-packaged and customised software (Expenditure
and Investment)
Own-account software (Expenditure and Investment)
Other ICT services (Expenditure on outsourced
services, as well as services related to
maintenance of hardware and software, data entry,
network security, website design and hosting
etc.)
Expenditure on leasing ICT goods and services
(payments for leased hardware and software)

Pilot Study in Sweden

Step1 Pre-study 10 face-to-face interviews with
ICT managers or
accountants
Step 2 Postal survey sent to 40 enterprises

Investment definition - difference between the
definition according to National Accounts and the
accounting rules of the Swedish enterprises.
Split between the variables
- Hardware - Software and service agreement

- Internet subscribtion, telephone call charges
- Data entry
Only ICT used in administration
Shared IT-services, global

IT goods and Telecommunication goods together
approximate percentage
Instead of short term assets lifecycle of at
least one year

Internal costs for IT services
Questions on personnel skills and organisational
changes
Response rate 39 No results published

Absolute minimum of variables
Expenditures on IT and Telecommunication
equipment - split by Investments and
Cost-accounted expenditures
Approximate percentage on - Computer equipment
and Telecommunications
Rental and leasing Computer equipment and
Telecommunications
Purchased software
82 response rate

Future plans

Analyze data, publication
Comparisons with NA estimates
EU regulation 2010 reference year 2009
New NACE, New OECD list

ICT in National Accounts

Supply and use framework
Supply based approach
Hardware is based on IVP ( Industrial production
of goods and services), Foreign trade statistics,
and INFI ( Intermediate consumption for the
manufacturing industry)
There is also information on household
consumption and change inventories.
The detailed gross fixed captal formation is
basically determined as as a residual item
