数字经济卫星账户:国际经验及中国编制方案的设计

A Digital Economy Satellite Account: International Experiences and A Conceptual Design of China’s Compilation Program

数字经济测度问题是信息革命下宏观经济统计面临的新挑战,为了准确核算数字经济发展规模及其对宏观经济运行的贡献程度,构建数字经济卫星账户(DESA)是一项较为可行的方案。本文在总结OECD等国际组织及美国、新西兰等国家对数字经济测度及DESA研究经验的基础上,结合中国数字经济的现状,尝试提出中国DESA的整体框架,剖析了DESA所涉及的基本概念、中心框架、核心表式与数据清单,明确了编制数字经济的静态总量指标与直接贡献指标,探讨了DESA的实例编制方法,以期为中国DESA的编制及国民经济核算体系的完善提供借鉴。

The measurement of digital economy has become a new challenge confronted by macroeconomic statistics in the context of the information revolution. In order to accurately measure the scale of digital economy and its contribution to the national economy, preparing a digital economy satellite account(DESA) is a feasible solution. This paper sums up the international research experiences from OECD, the United States and New Zealand, etc. on DESA compilation and digital economy measurement and puts forward an overall framework of China’s DESA by analyzing basic concepts, kernel framework, core tables and data lists involved in DESA, taking into account the current situation of China’s digital economy and clarifying the static aggregate indicators and direct contributive indicators for digital economy. It also explores a case study on DESA compilation program in order to provide a useful reference for the DESA compilation and the SNA improvement in China.
