Official Statistics

The section for official statistics publishes articles which deal with conceptual methods and computational issues. The different fields covered include

• population and social statistics
• economic statistics
• price statistics
• regional and urban statistics
• economic and social statistics
• tourism statistics
• research, development and innovation statistics
• environmental statistics including environmental accounting and environmental indicators
• national accounts including input-output tables and analysis.

Especially welcomed are articles which are concerned with relatively new areas like

Of course, papers treating national as well as international concepts (e.g. EU-statistics) are of interest.
