![]() As a result of this, productivity was 0.7% higher than in Quarter 1 2015. This was a return to quarterly growth, following a slight contraction of 0.1% in the final quarter of 2016, and continued a general upwards trend seen in recent years. In Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2017, total public service productivity increased by 0.3% relative to the previous quarter. ![]() Quarterly public service productivity rises as growth in output outstrips growth in inputs Further information on these differences can be found in New nowcasting methods for more timely quarterly estimates of UK total public service productivity. Differences between the annual and quarterly experimental public service productivity estimates are a result of differences in the estimates of output and inputs. This has subsequently been converted to a quarterly series – split among the 4 quarters – reducing the impact these components have on volatility.Īnnual estimates for 20 are taken from annualised quarterly data and are comparable to the existing annual series over the period 1997 to 2014. A large proportion of activity data used to estimate the volume of output are annual data. Trends in quarterly total public service output, inputs and productivity estimates are mostly determined by those service areas where quarterly data are readily available, for example, healthcare. This release presents experimental estimates for quarterly total public service productivity, inputs and output, providing a short-term timely indicator of the future path for the annual estimates of total public service productivity, which are produced with a 2-year lag. This is referred to as the “Output=Inputs” convention and means productivity growth will always be zero where indirect measures are used. Indirect measures of service output assume that the volume of output is equal to the volume of inputs used to create them. Direct measures of output use the number of activities performed and services delivered, which are weighted together using the relative cost of delivery. The QNA also provides estimates of government output based on direct measures where they are available and indirect measures where they are not. Alternatively, volume measures are used where available, such as full-time equivalent for labour input. Expenditure data used to estimate inputs growth are taken from the Quarterly National Accounts (QNA). They are adjusted for inflation using a suitable price index (deflator). ![]() Inputs are composed of expenditure on labour, goods and services, and of consumption of fixed capital. Estimates of output, inputs and productivity are given both as growth rates between consecutive periods and as indices that show the cumulative trend over time.Įstimated growth rates of output and inputs for individual public services are aggregated by their relative share of total expenditure on public services (expenditure weight) to produce estimates of total public service output, inputs and productivity. Productivity will increase when more output is being produced for each unit of input. ![]() Productivity of public services is estimated by comparing growth in total output with growth in total inputs used.
