A Century of High Frequency UK Macroeconomic Statistics: A Data Inventory Summary

This report by Chadha, Rincon-Aznar, Srinivasan and Thomas provides a comprehensive inventory of high-frequency (daily, monthly, quarterly) UK macroeconomic statistics from World War I (1914) to 2017, with some data extending back to the 13th century. Its primary goal is to facilitate long-run historical analysis by documenting the availability of various indicators and identifying data gaps. The century-long dataset covers national accounts, prices, labour markets, output, finance, and public sector aggregates.

Key findings and focuses:

Data Availability: UK has a rich history of economic statistics, allowing for detailed historical analysis.
Post-WWI Focus: The inventory primarily covers data from 1920 onwards, acknowledging that earlier data is well-documented in other collections.
Challenges: Modernization challenges include frequent changes in national accounts systems (post-ESA revisions) and standard industrial classifications (SIC), leading to breaks in continuity.
Inventory Structure: Based on the ONS Economic Trends Annual Supplement (ETAS) structure, providing balanced and compromise estimates (GDP(A) and GDP(B)) derived from income, expenditure, and production approaches.
Methodology: Reconciliation techniques use balancing weights and interwar estimates to align older data with current frameworks.
Future Work: The project aims to expand the dataset to include pre-WWI data and develop user-friendly tools for historical dataset creation.
Executive Summary: The report serves as a foundation for policymakers and researchers seeking to analyze long-run macroeconomic trends and improve historical data consistency.
