CONCEPTUAL CONSIDERATIONS ON SATELLITE SYSTEMS

D. Schäfer and C. Stahmer

Review of Income and Wealth, 1990, vol. 36, issue 2, 167-176

Abstract: In this paper, some considerations are presented on possible concepts of satellite accounts. These accounts are special data systems on specific, socially important fields of study (e.g. environment, health, education) which could supplement the core system of national accounts and which are linked to the core by common classifications and transition tables for transactors and transactions. The special advantage of satellite systems are the possibilities of meeting new demands on data, of testing new concepts which are suitable for the described field and at the same time of leaving the extent and concepts of the core system unchanged. In the paper, the main emphasis is laid on the need to standardize the concepts of satellite accounts world‐wide. This is necessary not only for comparing the results of analyses for different subject fields on a national level, but also in order to enable international comparisons of the data to be made for one field of study. Furthermore, a more detailed description of the concepts for the production part of the satellite system is given.
