Compilation Guide on Land Estimation (Eurostat and OECD)

The “Compilation Guide on Land Estimation” provides conceptual and practical guidance to statisticians concerning the estimation and valuation of land and to increase international comparability. The guide clarifies theoretical concepts and proposes a breakdown of land into categories so that international comparisons can be more easily made. It also discusses possible data sources, elaborates direct and indirect estimation methods and addresses several special estimation cases. The guide presents (an elaboration of) the information that is available on this topic in the 2008 SNA and in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) in a systematic and accessible way. The Guide can also be downloaded from Eurostat at the following link:(http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/3859598/6893405/KS-GQ-14-012-EN-…)
