The input-output tables that make up the source for the multiplier statistics are fully coherent with the national accounts which makes the multipliers coherent as well. The classification of industries and final use categories are concurrent. The multipliers are published for the most recent final year of the national accounts because multipliers in current prices are not comparable over time. To the extent that similar multipliers are calculated in other countries a high degree of comparability can be expected.
Comparability - geographical
This is not statutory statistics, but to the extent that other countries have produced a similar statistics, the results should be fully comparable, as the methods are internationally known.
Comparability over time
This statistics cover only the most recent final year of the national accounts. But there will be full comparability between the updates. Multipliers compiled in currents prices are not comparable over time and therefore time series of multipliers are not published.
Coherence - cross domain
The multiplier statistics is fully coherent with national accounts and the input-output tables. The classification of industries and final use components is completely concurrent. The methodology behind the calculation of the multipliers follow international standards and leading textbooks in the area. To the extent that similar multipliers are compiled in other countries a high degree of comparability must be expected. The methodology is concurrent with the methodology behind the publication Danish input-output tables and analyses that was published by Statistics Denmark in a longer period ending with the 2011 version.
Coherence - internal
Full consistency applies to this database.
