This technical report builds on the research output of “National Accounts and Beyond GDP:
Predictive Performance of Real-Time Indicators” ESCoE/ONS collaborative project to
summarise the key findings and provide a standardised methodology to guide the editing,
maintenance, publishing and potential incorporation of new real-time indicators into the
development of early estimates of headline economic statistics. Empirical results from
previous tasks are revisited and standardised qualitative and quantitative criteria are
discussed.
