This article provides a description of the methodologies and data sources which are
used to compile the regional household sector accounts. The most recent estimates
of regional household sector income and consumption expenditure were published in
a news release on 26th July 2001. These estimates are also included in a separate
article in this edition of Economic Trends. The geographic level of breakdown of
the estimates is described and a summary of each income component is provided in
this article. Some understanding of national accounts methods and regional geographies
is assumed throughout. For more information on these, refer to the publications listed
in the references section.This article does not detail the methodology used to calculate
sub-regional household sector income. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) aims
to publish sub-regional household sector income estimates, along with the methodology
used to produce them, in an article in Economic Trends at the end of 2001.

The purpose of this article is to seek feedback on a new methodology being developed
by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to measure and value the output of household
transport in the UK. This includes all modes of transport which are provided by the
household such as car, van, motorcycle, bicycle and walking and all purposes where
the cost is not already included in the UK National Accounts. The figures quoted
in the article are provisional and should be interpreted cautiously, bearing in mind
their sensitivity to some of the assumptions used and the sampling variability around
the results. This work is experimental and the author invites feedback on the methodology
and underlying assumptions.The paper outlines the information available form the
National Travel Survey and the different options for valuing household transport.
The second section describes the method used to gross the data and estimate the distance
travelled by parties in the UK - initial estimates are included. The next section
deals with the method used to value the distance travelled and looks at the sampling
variability around the results. Where possible the sensitivity to certain assumptions
has been tested. A brief description of how these results will fit into the transport
account and areas for future developments conclude the article.
The transport project is part of a programme of work to produce a Household Satellite
Account (HHSA).
