Indicators of Activities for Industry and Services, ISIC Rev. 3
methods, notes and classification
Indicators of Industry and Services (ISIC Rev.3)
The Indicators of Industry and Services publication provides an overall view of short-term economic developments in OECD Member countries in a great number of industries and services, classified according to the International Standard Industrial Classification of all economic activities, ISIC Revision 3.
Short-term indicators, quantitative and qualitative, monthly and/or quarterly, that are shown in this publication, give detailed information on both most recent developments relating to output, turnover, orders, producer prices and employment and anticipations of future events drawn from business tendency surveys.
They allow political and economic decision makers to quickly analyse several aspects of the business cycle in detailed economic branches and to base their decisions on a precise knowledge of special economic short-term events in all sectors.
All indices are presented on base 1995=100.
Comparatively to the paper publication, electronic products contains country data as from 1990 as well as disaggregated data at the 3 or 4-digit level of ISIC Rev. 3 when available. The CD-ROM also contains historical series (1975-1998) according to ISIC Rev. 2 relating to quantitative indicators and industrial sectors only.
Data, monthly or quarterly, shown in this publication, include both quantitative indicators and business tendency survey results. They are classified by economic activity following the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC Rev. 3) adopted in February 1989 by the United Nations Organisation (Statistical Papers, Series M, No. 4, Rev. 3, New York 1990).
The quantitative statistics shown relate to the following variables: For industrial activities (Categories C to F of ISIC Rev. 3) ╖ Production ╖ Turnover ╖ New orders ╖ Unfilled orders ╖ Producer prices ╖ Employment
For service activities (Categories G to O of ISIC Rev. 3) ╖ Turnover ╖ Employment
The statistics are published as indices, on the base year 1995 and are expressed in the form 1.000, so as to enable comparisons between countries.
For industrial sectors (excluding construction), indices of production and employment have been calculated for the five area totals for ISIC Rev. 3 categories and divisions. Weighted sums of the available component country data have been used. Seasonally adjusted indices of industrial production, turnover in services and employment are compiled either by the countries or by the Secretariat. In the latter case the "X12-Arima version of Method-II of the United States Bureau of the Census" is used. As a rule, seasonally adjusted indices are available for all ISIC categories and divisions. Furthermore, seasonally adjusted indices of turnover and new orders are shown for total manufacturing industries (D).
These data enable tendencies to be assessed in concepts difficult to measure using traditional quantitative statistical techniques. The use of both quantitative data such as those presented above, and business survey data presented below, provides a more comprehensive description of industrial activity. Both types of data are used more and more frequently in OECD countries for analysing short-term economic developments.
In five out of the six indicators shown, which in present circumstances are most often used for intercountry studies, questions call either for the respondents' judgement on factors of the current business situation or for their assessment of the direction of short-term changes in the following variables:
╖ Judgements on stocks of finished goods ╖ Judgements on orderbooks ╖ Total order inflow ╖ Production prospects ╖ Labour force expectations
In these three-fold alternative questions (positive, negative and neutral answers), two types of answers, balance and equals are presented in order to give the user more complete information.
The sixth indicator concerns capacity utilisation. The question form selected for this publication enables the provision of exact figures relating to the present rate of capacity utilisation rather than a judgement or an assessment.
The tables generally show monthly data, except when the questions (or the surveys) are asked quarterly. In any case, results are attributed to the month of the survey.
In the majority of OECD countries respondents to surveys are asked to adjust their replies to compensate for normal seasonal fluctuations. Experience has shown however that respondents are only able to do this partially and that a residual seasonal element is therefore normally present in the data.

Appendix B: Business survey data: technical notes
General characteristics
In most OECD countries, business surveys are carried out either by the national statistical offices or by private research institutes. They have been undertaken long enough to enable more and more analysts to use them in intercountry studies.
A business survey is a method of gathering qualitative information from a number of enterprises. The sample of firms, derived from a frame that reflects the population to be questioned, does not differ much from one period to another. The advantages of using a stable sample are quicker replies and reduced variability of results between successive surveys.
A business survey generally deals with judgements or expectations of managers of firms regarding variables directly related to their specific activities. The respondents are asked, by means of postal questionnaires, to express their opinion on factors relating to their current business situation or to predict developments in specific variables.
The questions included in surveys have to be precise and unambiguous. They are given with a limited choice of alternative answers. However, concepts are usually not clearly defined and room is often left to the respondent to give his own interpretation.
Indicators selected The six indicators selected are probably those that can be most readily used in intercountry studies.
Two questions ask the entrepreneurs to express their opinion on the actual level of endogenous variables in relation to some ideal level, either normal or satisfactory:
Judgements on stocks of finished goods Judgements on orderbooks A typical question of this kind is: Do you consider the present level of stocks of finished goods (or level of orderbooks) - Above normal? or Excessive? - Normal? or About right? - Below normal? or Too small?
It is however worth noting that the notion of normality is not explained. Two questions refer to the expected direction of change of variables directly related to the activity of the firm:
Production prospects Labour force expectations.
A typical question of this kind is: Do you expect that in the three coming months your production (your employment) - Will increase? - Will remain stable? - Will decrease?
One question concerns the direction of change of an endogenous variable in recent past: Total order inflow.
The question put is: Were the orders that you received in recent past (or will the orders that you will receive in the three coming months be) - Up? - Unchanged? - Down?
These three last questions refer to variables that also belong to quantitative questionnaires. However, there are two main differences: replies are qualitative and they are available much earlier than quantitative data. In contrast with the previous types of question, a quantitative question asks the entrepreneurs to state the rate of:
Capacity utilisation
Results Generally weights are applied to answers to reduce the bias resulting from differences in size of enterprises belonging to the sample. In order to improve the quality of the sample, further weights can be used, for example to take into account the importance of the industrial sectors in total value added. To take into consideration the influence of seasonal factors, managers are asked to carry out adjustments for seasonality when replying to questions and making their choice of alternative responses.
However, past experience with the response practise shows that they are not successful in carrying out such corrections properly and that business survey time series often display characteristic seasonal fluctuations. For the question on the rate of capacity utilisation, a precise figure is sought. It is presented as a weighted percentage. The five other qualitative questions selected by OECD have three alternative reply options: a positive answer (increase, or above normal or excessive), a negative answer (decrease, or under normal, or too small) and a neutral answer (no change, or normal, or about right). Two types of answers are presented in the publication: the balance which corresponds to the difference between the positive and the negative weighted percentages of replies and the equals which indicates the weighted percentage of neutral answers. This allows the recalculation of all three percentages.
Use of Business Survey Results
As information provided by business surveys essentially deals with opinions and anticipations, they are often used in conjunction with quantitative statistics in various types of short-term economic analysis and in forecasting.
Time series of business survey results are not designed to replace traditional quantitative data. However, they can be used and combined to interpret changes in the current economic situation. Furthermore, because they are rapidly available, following the end of the reference period, they can also be included in econometric models for forecasting purposes.
