Abstract

[fre] L'indice de la production industrielle est l'un des principaux instruments statistiques qu'utilisent les pouvoirs publics et les responsables de l'économie pour dresser chaque mois le diagnostic de la situation économique. . Le rajeunissement de l'indice — passage de la base 100 en 1959 à la base 100 en 1962 — a été surtout mise à profit pour aménager la présentation précédente en fonction des remarques que la pratique avait suscitées. On notera moins l'apparition de séries supplémentaires, d'ailleurs peu nombreuses, que l'établissement d'une nouvelle pondération fondée sur des statistiques enrichies. . Par ailleurs, les informations trimestrielles sont rejetées de l'indice mensuel, dont le caractère conjoncturel est ainsi apuré. Des indices trimestriels et annuels, reprendront les informations disponibles à des périodicités plus longues que le mois. . L'auteur rappelle les principales caractéristiques d'un indice de la production : signification des pondérations, corrections des jours ouvrables, des variations saisonnières, comparaisons des résultats successifs entre eux... [eng] The index of industrial production is one of the main statistical instruments used by the public authorities and the responsible leaders of the economy to draw up the monthly diagnosis of the economic situation. . Advantage has mainly been taken of the updating of the index from 1959 = 100 to 1962 = 100, to improve the former presentation in the light of comments made on the old practice. The appearance of supplementary series, in any event few, will be less noted than the establishment of a new weighting based on enriched statistics. . Furthermore, quarterly indications are excluded from the monthly index, whose cyclical character is thus less diluted. Quarterly and yearly indexes will sum up the information available for periods longer than one month. . The author recalls the main characteristics of a production index; significance of weightings, adjustment for the number of working days, seasonal variations, comparison between successive results, etc.
