Publication: Green National Accounts for Denmark 2015-2016

Statistics Denmark’s Green National Accounts highlight the link between the economy and the environment through environmental-economic accounting. The feature publication titled “Green National Accounts for Denmark 2015-2016” is the final outcome of a three-year project which has developed a full set of environmental-economic accounts for Denmark according to the principles of the international statistical standard , System of Environmental-Economic Accounting 2012 – Central Framework, ., Based on these accounts, the publication presents a broad overview of recent Danish developments and resulting pressures on the environment, as well as describing how stocks of natural resources and land cover/use has developed, and the extent to which “green” activities are part of the economy., The environmental-economic accounts are organised in 13 modules, each of which is presented in a separate chapter in the report. Furthermore, the report includes a chapter presenting a number of SDG-indicators for Denmark based on data from the accounts. A summary of the recent developments based on selected key indicators from the accounts is also presented., Some of the publication’s key findings are:, The use of renewable energy increased by 5 per cent from 2015 to 2016, Each inhabitant of Denmark created an average of two tonnes of waste in 2016, 68 per cent of which was recycled., The production of green products employed more than 71,000 people and had a 214 DKK billion turnover in 2016., Less greenhouse gases emitted per unit of GDP, The publication highlights the relationships between the economy and the environment. Among other things, it is shown that a decoupling between growth in GDP and growth in greenhouse gas emissions has taken place., If Danish emissions of greenhouse gases had increased as much as demand for Danish produced goods since 1990, emissions would have been around 39 million tonnes of CO, 2, -equivalents higher than in 1990. Due to the aforementioned decoupling brought about by various structural changes in the economy emissions are instead 19 million tonnes of CO, 2, -equivalents lower today than they were in 1990., Get as pdf, Green National Accounts for Denmark 2015-2016, Colophone, Green National Accounts for Denmark, Environment and energy, ISBN: 978-87-501-2291-3, Released: 28 February 2018 08:00, No of pages: 199, Contact info:, Ole Gravgård Pedersen, Phone: +45 30 89 28 39

Publication: Denmark in Figures 2019

Denmark in Figures is no longer published, and the 2019-edition is the last one., Denmark has 5.8 million inhabitants of which 1.7 million – or almost 30 per cent – live alone. The average life expectancy of the men is 79.0 years, whereas the average life expectancy of the women is 82.9 years. These are just some of the facts that you can find in Denmark in figures 2019., The booklet is well suited for use in senior classes, e.g. in Social Science and Mathematics. It is the story of Mathilde and Lucas and all the other 15-year-olds in Denmark from a statistical perspective. Did you know that one in six 15-year-old Danes go to continuation school and two thirds live in single-family houses?, In this publication, you can also find facts such as:, The highest point in Denmark is Møllehøj with its 171 metres, the biggest lake is Arresø with its 40 km2, and the longest river is the Gudenå stretching 176 km through Jutland, which - by the way - accounts for 69 per cent of the total area of the country., Our population has been growing in recent years. This is due partly to immigrants outnumbering emigrants, partly to births outnumbering deaths., The average home in Denmark is 112 m2, and each person has an average living space of 52.3 m2. Home ownership is 57 per cent., The share of persons aged 25 to 64 years with long-cycle education has grown from 6 per cent in 2000 to 12 per cent in 2018. In the same period, the share of the population with basic school as their highest level of completed education has dropped from 30 per cent to 18 per cent., The unemployment rate was in 2018 5.2 per cent for women and 5.0 per cent for men. The unemployment was lowest among the 45-54-year-olds (2.9 per cent) and highest among the 15-24-year-olds (11.0 per cent)., From an international point-of-view, Denmark had a significant surplus on the balance of payments of 6.1 per cent of GDP in 2018 because our exports are worth more than our imports. In addition, we have a large return on net foreign assets. Our biggest trading partner is Germany followed by Sweden., If you have questions to Denmark in figures 2019, please do not hesitate to contactMargrethe Pihl Bisgaard, +45 39 17 31 62, mpb@dst.dk., Other releases, All, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, Get as pdf, Denmark in figures 2019, Colophone, Denmark in Figures, People, ISBN: 978-87-501-2332-3, Released: 3 May 2019 08:00, No of pages: 37, Contact info:, Margrethe Pihl Bisgaard, Phone: +45 29 31 05 83

Publication: Danish GDP and GNI, Sources and methods 2012

The publication describes in detail the sources and methods used for the compilation of gross domestic product, GDP, and gross national income, GNI. It replaces the previous documentation “Danish National Accounts – Sources and Methods 2003” from 2007. With the new documentation the description of sources and methods is brought up to date and reflects the current compilation methods, international guidelines (ESA2010) and classifications. The publication follows a common structure used by all EU member states and is available in English only., The documentation uses 2012 as a reference year, but the descriptions relate to the sources and methods generally used in the compilation of final GDP., Final GDP is compiled at the most detailed level using all available relevant sources for describing the economic activity within the national accounts framework. Examples are account statistics for private enterprises, government finance statistics, household budget survey and foreign trade statistics. In order to fit all this information into one figure – GDP – an extensive amount of adjustment must be made. Also, confronting data at the detailed level reveals inconsistencies in the sources that must be overcome. In the Danish national accounts this confrontation of data takes place in the Supply-use tables which contains 2 350 products and 117 industries., As a supplement to the description in the publication, the process from primary statistics to final GDP is also presented in a schematic form – the so-called , process tables, ., Get as pdf, Danish GDP and GNI, Sources and methods - 2012, Title, colophone, preface and content, Chapt. 1 Overview of the system of assounts, Chapt. 2 The revisions policy and the timetable for revising and finalizing the estimates, Chapt. 3 The production approach, Chapt. 4 The Income Approach, Chapt. 5 The expenditure approach, Chapt. 6 The balancing or integration procedure and validating the estimates, Chapt. 7 Overview of the allowance for exhaustiveness, Chapt. 8 The transition from GDP to GNI, Chapt. 9 Main classifications used, Chapt. 10 Main data sources used, Annex, Colophone, Danish GDP and GNI, Sources and methods, Economy, ISBN pdf: 987-87-501-2229-6, Released: 15 August 2016 09:00, No of pages: 287, Contact info:, Annette Thomsen, Phone: +45 22 16 62 51

Publication: Agriculture and Danish farm returns through 100 years 1916-2015

Since the first farm returns were reported for statistical purposes for the , financial year 1916-17, , Danish agriculture has lived through quite a few things., In the first year of the statistics, World War I implied that the countries at war experienced increased demand for e.g. food. As a result, Denmark, which did not participate in the war, was able to sell agricultural products at high prices. By contrast, it was difficult to export in the years of recession in the 1930s and it was necessary to implement emergency farm aid, e.g. in order to reduce high levels of debt.,      2. World War II boosted the technological development and, in the post-war years, horses were ,      increasingly replaced by engine power., When Denmark became a member of the EEC in 1973, new demands were made on the agricultural accounts in the statistics, which were to conform to the same method as that of the other member countries. With the book , Agriculture and Danish farm returns through 100 years,, Statistics Denmark gives the reader an insight into Danish agriculture and its development, in particular in the 20th century., The publication includes e.g.:, Mechanisation and specialisation of the agricultural sector, which has experienced soaring productivity., Accounting figures for 100 years, which show e.g. the development in gross output, operating costs, economic indicators, capital and debts., The preparation of the statistics has undergone method changes, increased the level of detail and, as a result, it has become more applicable in research., Moreover, the table, JORD100, has been added to Statbank.dk to mark the centennial year for the agricultural accounts., Here you can extract accounting figures for agriculture back to 1916 and up to 2015, , which is the last stated year with accounts statistics for agriculture, (only in Danish).,  , Get as pdf, Agriculture and Danish farm returns through 100 years, Colophone, Agriculture and Danish farm returns through 100 years, Business, ISBN pdf: 978-87-501-2279-1, Released: 28 September 2017 09:00, No of pages: 59, Contact info:, Henrik Bolding Pedersen, Phone: +45 20 57 88 87
