Статистические единицы производства в Системе национальных счетов.
The article considers a problem of statistical production units used in estimation ofgross value added - a key indicator of economic growth and efficiency assessment, and their implementation in statistical practice. Relevance of the problem is stipulated both Ьу the necessity to improve the quality of statistical data, and the leading role of production account that is typical for the Russian national accounts. Author highlights that there’s no statistical unit which could be equally applied in compilation of all the accounts of SNA, because units used for description of distribution and redistribution of income and assets transactions, on one hand, and production of goods and generation of primary incomes, on the other, should bear different properties. With the respect to the recommendations of international organisations it is proposed to use establishment, or local-kind-of-activity unit as a basic statistical unit of production analysis and evaluation. Establishment is a statistical unit with a high homogeneity of output product and localised in one geographical point. Thus introduction of establishment in statistical calculations will foster formation of statistics on the basis of most homogeneous statistical units, and will permit to obtain comparable national and regional estimates at a detailed level of industries. Author with the use of conditional patterns considers impact of statistical units on national and regional indicators of production, as well as on transfer prices of internal flows of enterprises with vertically integrated production structure. As a result author draws a conclusion that application of establishments in national accounts of Russia will permit to exclude divergence in composition of industries of national and regional level and increase the level of their homogeneity. The work on introduction of these statistical units is presently carried out in Rosstat.
