9 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 Manufacturing and industrial statistics Industrial development is a driver of structural change which is key in the process of economic development. Industrial statistics allow to identify and rank the key production sectors, major economic zones in the country, major size classes Specialized and structural statistics on industry (as well as on other economic sectors) are demanded more than ever by researchers and analysts to assess implications of the process of the globalization to individual countries: Synthesized data on world development trends. Internationally comparable data to assess the growth and structure of one region in the world vis-à-vis others. A complete set of data on their field of interest to avoid measurement discrepancies. Regular data production to update/correct policy measures. Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47
10 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 Structural statistics for industry: UNIDO databases UNIDO databases Cover the manufacturing sector Refer to economic statistics, mainly production and trade related, not technological or environmental data Include statistical data from the annual observation within the quality assurance framework (no experimental or one-time study data) Official data supplied by NSOs (abided by the resolution of UN Statistics Commission) Further details: Follow the UNIDO Quality Framework (Upadhyaya and Todorov, 2008, 2012) Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47

13 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 Imputation in international statistics Survey data (micro) Multiple variables observed for a sample of observation units from a population at one point in time Gaps in the data are classified as: Item non-response Unit non-response Variables not included in the survey Time series data (macro) Contain data for multiple time periods Contain data for aggregate (or macro) units (sections) Sections are usually countries Variables are usually statistical indicators (like GDP, MVA, etc.) Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47
14 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 Imputation INDSTAT: Cross-sectional time series data Four different types of time series data structures (Denk and Weber, 2011): 1. Single univariate time series 2. Single multivariate time series 3. Cross-sectional univariate time series 4. Cross-sectional multivariate time series Missingness patterns The relevance and applicability of missing data techniques depends on: 1. missing items; 2. missing periods, 3. missing variables, and 4. missing sections (countries). Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47
15 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 Imputation INDSTAT: Description of the data set Variables of interest 1. GO - Gross output 2. VA - Value added 3. WS - Wages and salaries 4. EMP - Number of employees Auxiliary variables 1. IIP - Index of Industrial Production 2. MVA - Manufacturing Value Added (from SNA) 3. IMVA - Index of MVA 4. CPI - Consumer price index Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47
16 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 Imputation INDSTAT: Description of the data set The following variables will not be considered: GFCF - Gross fixed capital formation the economic relation to GO and VA is too weak EST - Number of establishments too heterogeneous due to difference in definitions Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47
17 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 Imputation INDSTAT: Analysis of the missingness Package VIM VIM Visualization and Imputation of Missing Values An R package (Temple et al., 2010) Tools for visualization of missing values, useful for exploring the data and the structure of the missing values May help to identify the mechanism generating the missings What to analyze Time series evolution of missingness The multivariate dependence in the missingness across the variables Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47

21 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 Imputation INDSTAT: Deterministic approach based on economic relations Impute the four variables of interest using economic relationships between the variables. Start with estimation of the missing observations for Gross output based on available production indexes or Value added. Estimate Value added, Wages and salaries and Employment on the basis of past trends in the relationships between output and these three variables. At total manufacturing level. Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47
22 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 Deterministic approach: algorithm STEP 1 Imputation of GO using IIP and CPI: EGO t = GO t 1 (1 + IIPt:0CPIt:0 IIPt 1:0CPIt 1:0 IIP t 1:0CPI t 1:0 ) STEP 2 Imputation of GO using VA and lagged ratio GO/VA EGO t = VA t GO t 1 VA t 1 ) STEP 3 Imputation of GO using IMVA and CPI EGO t = GO t 1 (1 + IMVAt:0CPIt:0 IMVAt 1:0CPIt 1:0 IMVA t 1:0CPI t 1:0 ) Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47

24 Imputation of Key Indicators: package unidocip2 B. Imputation INDSTAT: Deterministic approach: algorithm III STEP 7 Imputation at industry level: will be based on the observed share of the industry in the manufacturing total. There are three ways to compute these shares: Historical average share. This method is based on the average share observed over the full history of the series and does not take into account time-variation in the industrial structure of the country. It is also sensitive to outliers. Historical median share. The share is estimated by taking the median of the whole history of the series. It is less sensitive to outliers than the average, but also does not take into account time-variation in the industrial structure of the country. Lagged share. This method takes the (imputed) share of the preceding year. It takes the time-varying structure of the economy into account, but is a less efficient estimate since it is based on only one observation and sensitive to outliers in that one observation.

28 REST APIs Accessing international statistical databases with R Economics studies (e.g. competitiveness analysis or benchmarking) - necessary to access different sources of data. Many international organizations maintain statistical databases which cover certain types of data: COMTRDAE, UNCTAD and WTO for international trade data, World development indicators (WDI) from the World bank, World Economic Outlook (WEO) and International Financial statistics (IFS) from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Industrial statistics databases (INDSTAT) by UNIDO and many more. Some of these organizations already provide application program interface (API) for accessing the data. How to use these APIs in R? Todorov (UNIDO) R in UNIDO NTTS / 47
29 REST APIs World Development Indicators (WDI) A comprehensive collection of cross-country comparable development indicators Compiled from officially-recognized international sources.

35 Competitive Industrial Performance (CIP) index: package CItools Competitive Industrial Performance (CIP) index The Competitive Industrial Performance (CIP) Index developed by UNIDO aims at benchmarking industrial performance at the country level. In contrast to other competitiveness indices currently available, the CIP index provides a unique crosscountry industrial performance benchmarking and ranking based on quantitative indicators and a selected number of industrial performance indicators. Rankings are provided at the global and regional levels, as well as by adopting different country groupings for 144 countries in This offers governments the possibility to compare their country s competitive industrial performance with relevant comparators, that is, not only with countries from the same region but also with countries at the same stage of economic or industrial development across the globe.
