“…catering, wholesale and motor trades) were carried out alongside other inquiries throughout the 1950–70s. The Annual Business Inquiry, first run in 1998, brought together the collection of annual data for manufacturing, distribution and service industries (see Smith and Penneck, 2009, ). The main categories of services that Flux identified can be condensed as follows: transport, post, central government services, professional and artistic services (e.g.…”

This history of National Accounts in Britain is done with two specific considerations in mind. First, the role of the economist John Maynard Keynes-as theoretician, compiler, supporter and user-is addressed. This role is substantial and has been greatly misunderstood or misrepresented by a large part of the literature. Second, the pioneering contributions made at the start of the 20th century by Alfred Flux, Arthur Bowley and Josiah Stamp, and later by Colin Clark, are detailed. The debates between these men mark the emergence of National Accounts as a serious discipline. Their work was supported by the earlier theoretical contributions of Alfred Marshall, and by practical developments, in particular the instigation of a Census of Production in 1907. Taken together, the two considerations tell a good part of the story of the emergence of National Accounting on the world stage. Copyright 2009 The Author.

What happened to regional inequality in Britain in the twentieth century?

New estimates of regional GDP for Great Britain in the twentieth century differ from those of Crafts but confirm his hypothesis of a U‐shaped regional inequality curve between 1911 and 2001. Comparison of these estimates with revised estimates for 1861–1911 suggests that the decline in inequality in the first half of the twentieth century forms part of a trend of declining regional inequality and catch‐up of the poorer regions with the richest (the South East) dating back to the 1860s at least. This convergence trend was interrupted by the First World War and the subsequent difficulties of Outer Britain in the 1920s when the gap between the South East and the rest widened. However, sometime after 1931 it picked up again. Since 1971 inequality has worsened and catch‐up has stopped; indeed, there has been divergence of the South East from the rest. This divergence has been especially marked since 1991. Although growth for all regions was faster during the period of increasing regional inequality that encompasses the second half of the twentieth century, the golden age of economic growth for regions outside the South East occurred during the long boom following the Second World War.

“…Changes in the classification in the UK have occurred about every 10 -15 years (see Smith and Penneck 2009 for an overview of industrial classifications used in UK statistics since 1907). The most recent large changes in the UK's classification were from SIC (80) to SIC (92) -the implementation occurring in the mid-1990s -and from SIC (2003) to SIC (2007).…”

As part of the changes to industrial classifications following the United Nations' revision to the International Standard Industrial Classification, ISIC Rev. 4, the UK moved to its version of a new classification between 2007 and 2011. We describe the processes involved in changing an industrial classification, including model-based adjustment methods and changes to survey designs and operations. We discuss the quality of the approaches used for different time periods in the same series, and the ways in which consistent time series are produced for users of economic statistics. We provide some general evaluation of the changeover, and guidance on the best approaches to follow when updating classifications.
