Regional accounts provide data for economic comparisons of Austrian regions with each other and with other regions of the EU. The data is published annually in December. The calculations correspond to the concepts and methodology specified in the European System of National Accounts (ESA 2010).
Regional accounts publish data at federal province level (NUTS 2) on the following aggregates: gross regional product and gross value added (each at current prices and in volume terms), employment, compensation of employees, gross fixed capital formation, and primary and disposable income of private households (according to the residence concept). At NUTS 3 level, gross regional product and gross value added (both at current prices) and employment are calculated. All aggregates (except GRP and income of households) are available by industry (ÖNACE 2008). Detailed information on data sources and methodology is provided in the standard documentation.
