Revisions in the Norwegian National Accounts: Accuracy, unbiasedness and efficiency in preliminary figures

This paper investigates the quality of preliminary figures in the Norwegian national accounts.

Preliminary figures for gross fixed capital formation (investments) under-predict the final figures. For other series in the Norwegian national accounts, we find that they are unbiased and weakly efficient.
