We are pleased to announce the release of Eurostat’s latest statistical working paper titled “A Real-Time Simulation Study on the Behaviour of Alternative Trend-Cycle Decomposition Methods During the Pandemic.” This paper conducts a comparative analysis of trend and cycle estimates derived from the Hodrick-Prescott method, the Christiano-Fitzgerald approximation, and the Harvey and Trimbur model for selected euro area indicators. The study spans the last three decades, including the COVID pandemic, and introduces an additive outlier correction to handle the most volatile observations during this period.

This project was implemented by GOPA Luxembourg experts, ensuring high-quality analysis and insight.

We invite you to read the full publication and explore the detailed findings.

We are excited to announce the release of the “EBS Methodological Manual for Statistics on Business Innovation” by Eurostat. This is the first edition of a comprehensive manual dedicated to European statistics on business innovation. The manual serves as a crucial tool for statistical offices across the EU, providing guidelines on collecting comparable data on business innovation, in line with the Oslo Manual 2018.

The Community Innovation Survey (CIS), which has been conducted biennially in all EU Member States since 2004, is the primary source of data on business innovation. This manual complements the legislative framework for European Business Statistics, ensuring that CIS data are compatible with other European data collections on businesses.

We invite you to explore this valuable resource and gain insights into the methodologies and concepts that drive the collection and analysis of innovation data in Europe.

GOPA Luxembourg team and experts are thrilled to announce the successful implementation of the project related to the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) Methodological manual – 2024 edition.

The updated HICP Manual focuses on the HICP compilation methodology and includes important definitions, useful examples and systematic legislative references. Overall, the manual serves as a practical reference for National Statistical Institutes, which deal with HICP compilations. Moreover, other experts, who want to understand and interpret HICP processes, might also find the manual useful.

GOPA Luxembourg is glad to announce the successful finalisation of the project ‘Industrial Ecosystems in the Annual Single Market Report (ASMR): A Reflection on alternative frameworks from existing national practice and a guide to estimate indicators based on publicly available data’. 

The object of the contract was:

• To provide an assessment of the feasibility of calculating the KPIs proposed in the ASMR based solely on publicly available data
• Reflect on the calculation of ecosystem statistics by presenting two examples from national practice.
• To provide methodological and practical guidance on performing the required calculations

This publication is the outcome of  the project which has been implemented by GOPA Luxembourg. The contract took place within the Eurostat’s Framework Contract on Methodology, through which GOPA is providing methodological and research support to Eurostat in the development and modernisation of European statistics.
