Gross Provincial Product
Overview
For Gross Provincial Product:
the National Economic Social and Development Board (NESDB) uses the
National Product data to estimate provincial product. Typically this
is not done by representative unbiased surveys of industrial, agricultural
and service sectors in each province but rather by imputing value added
based on a proxy variables. For example value added by crop per rai
is used in the National Product Data, and the Ministry of Agriculture
then provides estimates of the amount of land planted in particular
crops in given years. Similarly, estimates of value added for certain
manufacturing established are used in the construction of the National
Accounts, and this is associated with electricity use. Provincial estimates
of electricity use allow imputation of value added. Provincial Income
data are available for all 76 changwats from 1994 to 1998, and for 73
changwats between 1989 and 1993.
Data from 1992 to 1998 was obtained
in Excel format from the NESDB website (www.nesdb.go.th), drawn from the
publication ?Gross Provincial Product of Thailand 1998 Edition? Data
from 1989, 1990 and 1991 was entered by hand from issues of the Thai Statistical
Yearbook. Data is available on gross provincial product in nominal and
real terms, and in terms of total or per capita product. Data is also
broken down by industry within each province. This data is subject to
substantial revisions over time, correspondingly, the most recent version
of the data should be used wherever possible.
Data prior to 1989 is available,
and can be obtained by referring to the relevant Statistical Yearbook
, or from past issues of the ?Gross Provincial Product of Thailand?
publication produced by the NESDB.
