Statistics Canada Training Institute - Producer price indexes

Producer price indexes - Transcript

Introduction

Welcome to the Statistics Canada Training Institute. Today, we will explore producer price indexes— what they are, how they are made and what they are used for.

To understand producer price indexes, you first need to know what producer prices are and what a price index is. Producer prices are the prices at which businesses sell their products or services to others (for example, the government, consumers or other businesses).

Although value-added taxes generally apply to the sale of these products, they are excluded from producer prices. For example, a retailer sells gasoline to a consumer for $1.32 per litre, plus tax. The tax on the litre sold is not part of the amount the retailer receives.

There are two main uses for producer price indexes. One is to adjust business or government contracts to inflation. The other is to calculate the real value of economic output by adjusting for price changes. In other words, price indexes are used to measure real gross domestic product (GDP). This is why there are many producer price indexes, covering a wide range of economic activities, such as manufacturing, construction, professional services, distributive trades and financial services.

Value chain

To illustrate the various producer price indexes present in the production process, let's take a look at the value chain for a house. A value chain is a series of activities that each adds value to the end product or service. These activities include labour, materials, goods, services and technology (or the so-called "factors of production"). Each step in the value chain needs to be measured to assess its macroeconomic impact, which is where producer price indexes come in. When you buy a new house, you (the consumer) see the end product. However, many activities go into planning, building and purchasing this house:

The first step in building a house is to extract the raw materials used to build it. A wide variety of materials are needed, such as lumber, steel, concrete, and glass. Let's take a closer look at the value chain of lumber.

First, logs are harvested by forestry companies. The price for the raw logs is captured in the Raw Materials Price Index. This index includes all costs producers incur to bring a log to the factory gate—for example, transportation charges, customs duties and subsidies, if applicable.

The next step in this value chain is the manufacturing process, during which the raw logs are turned into lumber. The price of this activity is captured in the Industrial Product Price Index and is the price of goods sold at the factory gate. As a result, the prices covered by this index are not what a purchaser pays, but what the producer receives. This excludes all indirect taxes, such as sales taxes and tariffs, as these do not go towards the factors of production.

The finished lumber leaves the factory and needs to be transported to the wholesaler. The transportation process is an economic activity that creates a service within the value chain. If the lumber is transported by truck, the price for this transportation service is captured in the For-hire Motor Carrier Freight Services Price Index. This industry is a vital part of the Canadian economy and the services it provides are crucial to the effective and efficient flow of goods.

Wholesalers store and distribute the lumber to retail stores or directly to the end user. The price for this service is captured in the Wholesale Services Price Index. The price of the wholesale service is defined as the margin price of what the wholesaler receives for their service. The margin price is calculated as the difference between the selling price and the purchase price of the wholesale service being measured.

Now it's time to transform the lumber into a house. Before construction can begin, the house needs to be designed by an architect and structural engineer. The architects and engineers who do this work charge for their services. The Architectural, Engineering and Related Services Price Index captures information on the prices of architectural, landscape architecture, engineering, and geophysical and non-geophysical surveying and mapping services. In this case, an architect would price out a standard contract for their services.

Once the house plans and specifications have been drawn up, a general contractor is selected to build the house. The changes in the price the contractor charges are measured in the Residential Building Construction Price Index. This type of index measures the change over time in the prices contractors charge for building various types of residences (for example, bungalows, two-storey houses, townhouses, high-rise and low-rise apartment buildings). The contractor's price includes the value of all materials, labour, equipment, overhead overhead and profit involved in the construction of a new building.

Towards the end of the value chain is the final product: a brand new house. The contractor or builder sells the house to a consumer. The change in this sale price is captured in the New Housing Price Index. This index measures changes over time in the contractors' sale prices of new residential houses, where detailed specifications pertaining to each house remain the same between two consecutive months.

House purchases are normally financed by a mortgage. The change in the price of this service is measured in the New Lending Services Price Index. This index measures monthly price changes over time for new lending services. Prices represent the difference between annual percentage rates for new loan products and weighted averages of yields on financial market instruments.

Index creation

Now that we have demonstrated how producer prices span the entire economy and talked about some uses of these indexes, let's discuss how indexes are built. Much like our brand new house, indexes have many layers and components.

To build an index, we need to identify a basket of goods and services that businesses in Canada might sell. We do this because it's impossible to capture the prices of every good and service a business produces. Instead, we track the selling prices of their most representative goods and services over time. To measure pure price change, it is important to keep the contents of the basket fixed over time. The basket differs depending on which part of the value chain is being measured. For example, the For-hire Motor Carrier Freight Services Price Index's basket contains the type of shipment and route travelled, whereas the basket for a residential building construction price index contains components such as building materials, labour and overhead.

Each item in the basket receives a relative importance, or basket weight, that represents its share in the total value of all goods or services in that particular sector of the economy. For example, motorized and recreational vehicles represent a larger share of the total value than meat, fish and dairy products; therefore, motorized and recreational vehicles receive a larger weight than meat, fish and dairy products in the Industrial Product Price Index basket.

Basket contents and their weights represent the production patterns of Canadian businesses, which change over time. For example, years ago manufacturers produced cars with cassette players. Today, they produce cars with Bluetooth or even electric cars. Updating the basket regularly ensures that the index remains representative of the range of goods and services produced in Canada.

Collection

With a practically infinite selection of goods and services, evaluating the basket price requires a large-scale coordinated effort by Statistics Canada. Most of the price quotes used to calculate producer price indexes are collected using surveys of Canadian producers. Other prices are obtained from non-survey sources, such as the Internet.

Price change measurement

Now that we have obtained prices for our basket of goods and services, we can measure the change in price from one period to another. We want to measure pure price change, which is the change in price from inflation alone, so the price is collected for the identical product or service over time. Changes in the quantity or quality of collected products or services are taken into account. For example, say a business produced a pivot chair with no arms and sold it for $100, then started producing only pivot chairs with arms that sold for $120. Even though the selling price has increased, adjustments are made for these quality changes to show no change.

Conclusion

Thank you for joining us on this tutorial of Value Chains and Producer Price Indexes

Closed Circuit Television Use in Statistics Canada's Virtual Federal Research Data Centre at Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation (CMHC): A Virtual Data Laboratory Prototype - Privacy impact assessment summary

Introduction

Statistics Canada is modernizing its methods of data access to improve its service to users of Statistics Canada data. The goal of modernization is to fully realize the potential of the data holdings created for the public good and increase collaboration and partnerships between data users and providers while ensuring that all data assets are protected against unauthorized use and disclosure.

Objective

This privacy impact assessment identifies and explores privacy, confidentiality and security issues associated with the use of video surveillance monitoring (camera monitoring) in secure facilities designed for the purposes of data access and makes recommendations for issue resolution or mitigation.

Description

As a first prototype, Statistics Canada undertakes to provide access to anonymized data for statistical research projects at the Virtual Federal Research Data Centre (vFRDC) located at Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) headquarters in Ottawa. CMHC will benefit from this access by being able to create statistical information to improve policy decision-making, specifically, the Federal Government's National Housing Strategy.

This arrangement is referred to as a vFRDC because the anonymized data are no longer housed in the designated certified room. They are housed on secure servers at Statistics Canada headquarters and are accessed through Statistics Canada IT access protocols and devices in the designated certified room with a controlled entry swipe card system. Until now, this room has been open to only approved federal employees when a Statistics Canada employee is present (this security protocol was put in place to protect the data when they were housed on servers inside the designated certified room). Under the new prototype, where data are no longer housed in the secure room, a camera system will be used as an additional measure to monitor activities and access to the designated certified room when a Statistics Canada employee is not present.

The additional layer of camera monitoring of the designated certified room will provide more hours of operation with similar levels of security monitoring and decreased personnel costs for the client. Statistics Canada's use of the camera monitoring includes making recordings of activities in the secure designated room to offer enhanced protection of employees and assets.

Risk Area Identification and Categorization

The PIA also identifies the risk areas and categorizes the level of potential risk (level 1 representing the lowest level of potential risk and level 4, the highest) associated with the collection and use of personal information of employees.

  • Type of program or activity – Level 2: Administration of program or activity and services.
  • Type of personal information involved and context – Level 1: Only personal information, with no contextual sensitivities, collected directly from the individual or provided with the consent of the individual for disclosure under an authorized program.
  • Program or activity partners and private sector involvement – Level 2: With other government institutions.
  • Duration of the program or activity – Level 3: Long-term (ongoing) program.
  • Program population – Level 1: The program's use of personal information for internal administrative purposes affects certain employees.
  • Personal information transmission – Level 2: The personal information is used in a system that has connections to at least one other system.
  • Technology and privacy: The new project involves the implementation of a new electronic system to support the program but does not involve the implementation of new technologies.
  • Privacy breach: There is a very low risk of a breach of some of the personal information being disclosed:
    1. The impact on the employee would be minimal as it would only divulge a digital recording of the individual taken in the designated certified room.
    2. The impact on the institution would be minimal due to the low sensitivity of the information.

Conclusion

Statistics Canada has ensured that there are measures in place that meet central agency and Statistics Canada security standards for the protection of personal information captured by the system and the program.

This assessment concludes that, with the existing safeguards, any remaining risks are such that Statistics Canada is prepared to accept and manage the risk.

Live chat on Statistics Canada's website - Privacy impact assessment summary

Introduction

To improve Statistics Canada's services and communicate directly with data users and survey respondents, a new live chat feature has been added to the agency's website.

Description

Anyone can anonymously submit a question to Statistics Canada via live chat.

Purpose

Statistics Canada's live chat feature does not collect any personal information and users are asked to not provide such information; however, since some users could still choose to provide personal information, a PIA was done to determine whether this was cause for concern in terms of privacy, confidentiality and security and, if so, to make recommendations to resolve and mitigate these issues.

Identifying and categorizing risk areas

The PIA also identifies the risk areas and categorizes the level of potential risk (with level 1 representing the lowest level of potential risk and level 4 the highest) associated with collecting and using personal information through this feature.

Personal information of participants:

  • Type of program or activity—Level 1: Program or activity that does not require a decision about an identifiable individual.
  • Type of personal information in question and context—Level 1: Only non-context-sensitive personal information collected directly from the individual or provided with their consent for disclosure under an authorized program.
  • Participation of partners and private sector in the program or activity—Level 1: Within the institution.
  • Duration of the program or activity—Level 3: Long-term program.
  • Program population—N/A: No personal information is used in the program. Personal information that could voluntarily be provided by users will not be used for any administrative or other purposes.
  • Transmission of personal information—Level 2: The personal information is used in a system that is connected to at least one other system.
  • Technology and protection of privacy: A new live chat feature is now available on the website. Adding the software behind it called for modifications to the IT systems. However, the software will not be used for data collection.
  • Privacy breach: Users will be asked to not provide any personal information. If such information is provided, it will not be used and will be destroyed after three months. Therefore, the risk of personal information being disclosed without proper authorization is very low and the impact on the individual would be low.

Conclusion

This assessment of the live chat feature on the Statistics Canada website did not identify any privacy risks that cannot be managed using existing safeguards.

Request from businesses to obtain their NAICS code

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was developed by the national statistical agencies of Canada, the United States and Mexico in order to have commonly defined industries for economic statistics. As per Access to Information Act requirements, Statistics Canada is committed to providing the NAICS codes it has on its Business Register to the owners or other authorized representatives of businesses upon formal request.

The Business Register programme has implemented statistical processes to measure the quality of the NAICS codes in order to produce accurate economic statistics by industry. The NAICS is updated according to set processes and schedules that are centered on meeting statistical objectives. It is, however, possible that the NAICS codes of some businesses may not be up-to-date or can be in error on the Business Register. A business observing that the NAICS code it receives is in error can advise Statistics Canada. Nonetheless, no changes to NAICS codes will be made on demand or outside of the established NAICS update processes.

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

  • calculating each province and territory's fair share of federal-provincial transfer payments for health, education and social programs
  • establishing government programs to assist businesses
  • assisting the business community in negotiating contracts and collective agreements
  • supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies
  • indexing social benefit programs and determining tax brackets
  • enabling academics and economists to analyze the economic performance of Canadian industries and to better understand rapidly evolving business environments.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS , are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.
