Intermediate consumption and Gross Output
Gross output
Gross output measures are taken directly from AES, and combined with an adjusted measure from IR10s which estimates and removes purchases of goods for resale and road user charges from the IR10 measure, and adds in net interest payments in finance and insurance industries to improve comparability with AES.
Intermediate consumption
A similar approach is taken with intermediate consumption, with both AES and IR10 measures being subject to adjustments to increase comparability between the two sources and to avoid double counting of capital expenses.
