It also makes a preliminary assessment of the possible estimation biases in nominal GDP estimates stemming from the use of outdated national accounts base years, downwards biases with household final consumption estimates, and an overestimation of gross fixed capital formation in construction activities. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers 606 $aNational income$zLatin America$xAccounting$xEvaluation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational income$xAccounting$xEvaluation. 676 $a339.3091821 700 $aRamos$b Roberto Olinto$0985752 701 $aPastor$b Gonzalo$0985753 701 $aRivas$b Lisbeth$0985754 701 $aZieschang$b Kimberly$0985755 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463612603321 996 $aLatin America$92253100 997 $aUNINA
