Abstract

The official output indices for production and construction industries have been rebased to 1990 = 100 and grouped into the new 1992 SIC definitions. The latest Scottish Office News Release (9/11/93) revealed substantial revisions to the Scottish indices back to the first quarter 1985. In order to compare the revised data with the previous series, and estimate our output equation, we have rebased the new output index series for Scottish production industries (Groups C, D, E of the 1992 SIC) to 1985 = 100.
