- Continuation of work on estimation techniques and now-casting methods, on management of confidentiality, statistical value, trade registers, intra-firm trade and globalisation.

A tutaj znalezione w sieci (na stronie Eurostatu) wyjaśnienie, co to takiego:
Now-casting is the estimation of the present rather than the future. The method tries to predict
present values of indicators for which up to date data is not available. It uses past data of the
indicator to be now-cast and data of related variables, which are available much sooner than
data on the indicator of interest.
Usually, a model-based approach is followed for the now-casting, which builds a model of the
indicator’s evolution in time and of its correlation with related variables; the model is fitted to
available data and an estimate (now-cast) for the current value of the indicator is derived.
