Documentation of statistics: Economic Accounts for Agriculture

Contact info, Food Industries, Business Statistics , Simone Thun , +45 51 36 92 51 , sit@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Economic Accounts for Agriculture 2024 , Previous versions, The Economic accounts for agriculture is a macroeconomic accounting system that illustrates the overall economy of the agricultural sector by providing accounts of production, intermediate consumption, gross investment, and other flows. As a satellite account under the European system of national accounts, this statistic represents the agricultural sector’s contribution to the National Accounts. In 2024, the statistic Gross factor income of agriculture was replaced by the Economic accounts for agriculture, which is regulated by an EU regulation. Accounts for Gross factor income of agriculture are available back to 1935, while the Economic accounts for agriculture in its current form are comparable from 1990 onwards., Statistical presentation, The Economic accounts for agriculture is an annual compilation of the agricultural sector’s economic activities, including the value of production (output), intermediate consumption, and gross investments. In addition, subsidies, labour input, and the sale of pesticides and mineral fertilizers are presented in separate, dedicated tables. The economic activities are compiled at basic prices and expressed in million DKK, both at current prices and at previous year’s prices. The statistics are compiled at both national and regional level. The agricultural labour input is measured in thousand annual work units (AWU). Direct subsidies to the agricultural sector are presented in million DKK. The sale of mineral fertilizers is compiled in tonnes., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The Economic accounts for agriculture is a composite statistical product, which means that its calculation basis is built on existing statistics, referred to as primary statistics. The statistics are compiled annually using data from a range of different sources, e.g., the Farm Accountancy Data Network and Feed Production Statistics, as well as from administrative registers, industry organizations, companies, and foundations. Once the data in each primary statistic has been processed, it is transferred to and consolidated in the data processing system for the Economic accounts for agriculture, which calculates the annual values. The value of each product is calculated using the standard “quantity times price” method., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The Economic accounts for agriculture are relevant for Danish authorities, the EU, research institutions, and agricultural organizations, as they allow monitoring of developments in the economic activities of the agricultural sector. The statistics also serve as input for the compilation of the National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The uncertainty in the Economic accounts for agriculture is linked to the uncertainty in the primary statistics used for its compilation. For example, issues such as timing can introduce uncertainty, while other information, such as data from dairies and slaughterhouses, is exact. For preliminary calculations, some estimates are based partly on expert judgment and assumptions until the final data are processed in the primary statistics; therefore, the statistics are considered final only after two years. The sold quantities of mineral fertilizers from the Danish Agency for Green Conversion and the Environment are associated with a certain degree of uncertainty. The data come from the annual collection of sales figures, in which companies with registered products are asked to report the quantities sold of those products. Companies have the option to indicate tax-exempt quantities, but this is voluntary, and not all companies use this option. The data collection does not include self-imports, and some products may be double-counted if a company has not used the option to report a sold quantity as tax-exempt. The data quality is therefore directly dependent on the information provided by the companies to the Agency., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Preliminary figures for the Economic accounts for agriculture are published no later than 10 months after the end of the reference year. Revised, yet still preliminary, figures are published 22 months after the end of the reference year. Final figures are published no later than 2 years and 10 months after the end of the reference year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Economic accounts for agriculture replace the Gross Value Added of Agriculture and are published for the first time in 2025 for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. They are directly comparable with the Gross Value Added of Agriculture, which can be traced back to 1990, while older compilations exist back to 1935. Unlike the Gross Value Added of Agriculture, the Economic accounts for agriculture include changes in farm stocks and livestock in sales values and present sales values at basic prices. In addition, the compilation contains a number of financial accounts that are not included in the Gross Value Added of Agriculture. As a satellite account, the Economic accounts for agriculture are comparable with the National Accounts’ compilations for the agricultural sector., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in , Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik, .

The statistics are used to compile weightings in the Consumer Price Index and for calculation of the private consumption in the National Accounts. The statistics were first compiled in 1897 and annually since 1994., Statistical presentation, The Household budget survey is an annual statement of the detailed private consumption at household level for private households in Denmark. The survey covers private households in Denmark. The household budget survey provides a detailed breakdown of consumption. In the most detailed breakdown, consumption is divided into approx. 1,200 different consumption types., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The survey is based on a sample where the number of households accounts for about 2,200 out of Denmark's total of approximately 2.8 million households. , The survey included data from three different data sources: Accounting booklets, CAPI interviews and data from registers. In this way the sample can give results which are good approximations for all private households. The data from the 3 different sources are validated. We are constantly looking at how we can improve and compile the statistic in a more efficient way., Data is collected annually from approximately 1,100 households and the sample for one years household budget survey is based on the sample from two years. All expenses, income, etc. are converted to the price and volume level of the end year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, In addition to the general public the Household Budget Survey has a wide application. Internally in Statistics Denmark during the compilation of national accounts and price indexation. Public authorities' planning and feasibility studies, etc. Internationally, where especially EUROSTAT is very active in order to establish comparable figures between countries. Research in a number of areas, as well as for marketing purposes., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, With only 12 pct. of the households who have been contacted participating in the Household Budget Survey. This creates uncertainty, not least for detailed consumer groups. For total consumption, this means that there is an uncertainty margin of +/- 1.8 per cent. while that for that for bread is 2 per cent. and 24 per cent. for a rarely purchased item such as offal. There is underreporting in a number of areas such as alcohol, tobacco, prostitution and undeclared work. The uncertainty is greater when data is based on accounting rather than interviews, and it will be greater if one looks at smaller subgroups of households., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published approximately12 months after the end of the reference year. The statistics are usually published according to the time announced. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Household Budget Survey is carried out in accordance with guidelines from the European Statistical Office, Eurostat. Comparable figures are published by Eurostat. Since 1994, the survey has been methodologically redesigned, so it is now conducted annually using the same method and on a comparable basis., Data for the period 2014 to 2022 were based on a two-year sample and the ECOICOP nomenclature. To ensure comparability over time, data for 1994 to 2013 were recalculated according to this nomenclature in both current and constant prices., From 2023, COICOP2018 has been implemented in the Household Budget Survey as the survey has become subject to a regulation. Therefore, data for 2015–2022 have been recalculated in current and constant prices according to COICOP2018 to ensure continuity., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The Danish Household Budget Survey is published in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.

Documentation of statistics: Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects

Contact info, Prices and Consumption, Economic Statistics , Peter Fink-Jensen , +45 21 34 76 92 , PFJ@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2025 , Previous versions, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2024, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2023, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2022, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2021, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2020, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2019, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2018, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2017, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2016, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2015, Construction Cost Indices for Civil Engineering Projects 2014, The Construction cost indices for civil engineering projects show the trends in prices for construction of civil engineering projects in Denmark. It is used, among other things, for regulation of building contracts, and for following the economic conjuncture in the construction industry. The statistics have been compiled in various forms since 1959, but in its current form the indices for earth work, asphalt work, concrete structures, and iron structures are comparable from 1976 and onwards. The index for roads is comparable from 1996 and onwards., Statistical presentation, The Construction cost indices for civil engineering projects shows trends in prices for work performed by different contractors in civil engineering projects: Earth work, asphalt work, concrete structures, iron structures, operating index, and sub-indices for Freight transport by road, and Equipment and machinery. Trends in costs for construction of roads are also monitored based on a weighing of indices for earthwork, asphalt work, concrete structures and iron structures., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The indices are calculated on the basis of information from the Standardised index of average earnings, Price index for domestic supply, the Producer price index for services, and Net price index., For all indices, sub-indices for labor costs and main cost groups are calculated. These sub-indices are weighed together to form the main indices. The weights reflect the shares of labor costs, material costs and equipment costs of the total costs of performing civil-engineering projects. The weights are based on an analysis of actual, completed civil engineering projects., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The purpose of the Construction cost indices for civil engineering projects is to reflect the development in the costs of civil-engineering projects. It is mainly used for regulation of building contracts. The indices are utilized primarily by construction organizations, contractors, building owners, craftsmen, lawyers and public authorities., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Overall the statistics are assessed to be representative for the general trends in costs of civil engineering projects in Denmark. The weight basis is based on an analysis of actual civil engineering projects. Changes in the typical use of materials, unusual price developments etc. may therefore affect the index' accuracy. The weight basis was last updated in 2025 with 2021 as reference period and is deemed representative for typical civil engineering work., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published quarterly approximately 70 days after the end of the quarter, i.e. at the beginning of March (4th quarter), June (1st quarter), September (2nd quarter) and December (3rd quarter). Yearly statistics (four quarter averages) are also published in connection with the 4th quarter publication. The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The first cost index for road fund work was compiled for March 1959 and the index for motorway work was compiled for the first time for March 1967., The indices have since then changes both weights and calculation method several times, thus they are not directly comparable over time when going back to 1959., The Norwegian statistical agency /(Statistics Norway) produce a cost index for road construction which is comparable to the Danish indices., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published i StatBank Denmark under the subject , Indices for the construction sector, .
