The research systematically analyzes key economic time series data, including related variables, and relying primarily on economic logic, points out key gaps and data quality issues. The focus is on comparing GDP by production and expenditure structure, using source data, deflators, and price time series; but also on a deeper study, as much as possible, of formal and informal knowledge about the methodologies used for GDP estimation, in order to explain the observed inconsistencies and illogicalities. Finally, the study has identified some key fundamental assumptions that are regularly made, which likely do not adequately reflect Serbia's reality. The report is primarily intended for economic policy makers in the Ministry of Finance, the Fiscal Council, as well as international financial institutions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">available in English only<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ceves.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Assesing-the-Quality-of-Serbian-Statistics-_2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Report<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britanska ambasada u Beogradu Godina: 2014 Ova studija ima za cilj da naglasi nizak kvalitet statisti\u010dkih podataka u Srbiji, posebno na nivou sektora privrede, u smislu njihove prakti\u010dne primene u analizi performansi, a samim tim i dono\u0161enja odluka i davanje preporuka.
