In 15 of the 18 comparisons in table 14, the SPIOER
growth rate is less than the growth of deflated GVO
from the input-output tables; in one case the rates are
equal and in only two instances are SPIOER rates
greater.
The lower SPIOER rate is consistent with our under-
standing of Soviet price indexes. Because official price
indexes do not capture all of the real price inflation,
deflation of GVOs in the input-output tables by the
official price series does not remove all of the price
inflation from measured real growth. We would there-
fore expect SPIOER growth rates to be below those
derived from input-output GVOs, as they generally
are. While this does not prove that the sample is
representative of all industrial output, it does suggest
that any sampling errors are likely to produce a lower
growth rate rather than a higher one. This is comfort-
ing because the greatest threats to measurement
errors are likely in the opposite direction. (See the
following discussion in “Biases in the Quantity and
Value Data.”)
Biases in the Basic Data
Changes in the Material Intensity of Production.
Only the 1972 input-output table is used in the
SPIOER computations to estimate the output indexes
for the branches of industry. This practice implicitly
assumes that the ratio of value added to gross output
for each sector remains approximately constant over
the period. If this assumption is wildly unrealistic, the
SPIOER indexes would fail to move in a manner
representative of the movement of national industrial
output. To avoid this strong assumption, one would
need a highly disaggregated input-output table for
every year, although only three——for 1959, 1966, and
l972—have been compiled thus far. Even these three
tables cannot be easily used together because
SPIOER is a constant price index and the input-
output tables are in current rubles.
Fortunately this work already has been partly done on
a limited basis for 18 sectors in two companion studies
by Vladimir Treml and Gene Guill.” By using these
constant price tables for the three benchmark years—
1959, 1966, and 1972—it becomes possible to com-
pare movements in gross output and value added. The
