The agricultural sales index illustrates price trends for both vegetable and animal sales products and services. A part of the statistics have been calculated since 1956, but since 1970 the most widely definition has been used, which includes horticulture, fur production and products from bees and wild game. , Statistical presentation, The Statistics contains for almost all items, monthly, quarterly and yearly information of agricultural prices, as well on sale products as on most products used in the intermediate consumption including capital formation. Some prices are only obtainable as price indices only, especially regarding intermediate consumption. The statistics covers both agriculture and horticulture. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for this statistics is collected at different frequencies from multiple sources. The collected data undergoes a simple validation. Once data is validated, aggregation occurs for a portion of data before publication, while other data is while other data is published directly. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are used by agricultural organizations and ministries to monitor price developments within the industry as well as as a basis for various analyzes and forecasts. The basic data and results of the statistics are also applied to other statistical areas in Denmark Statistics, for example, for the calculation of the gross income of agriculture as used in the National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, On some products, i.e. horticultural products, qualities and types are several and dynamic. It makes it a little difficult to be sure on the representatively on the prices followed. Concerning input prices based on general price statistics, the situation in agriculture are maybe not fully reflected. Some indices on volumes are indirectly measured based on values and price indices. This method can lead to inaccuracy. The declaration on content on Economic Account for Agriculture and these on animal production includes more information on possible inaccuracy. Because of the very different picture of sources, margins of statistical errors can not be calculated. However, for main output products, i.e. milk and meat, the coverage and accuracy are close to 100 per cent. Prices on cereals and feeding stuff (concentrates) are based on more that 70 per cent of total volume, which ensure high reliability. In general, the accuracy is highest on sales product and less high on intermediate consumption and goods for capital formation., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published without any delay in relation to the published release times., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics are comparable in their current form from 2005 onwards. The price indices are re-based approximately every five years, most recently in 2024 with base year 2020=100, which limits full comparability over long time periods. As of 2025, a new method for collecting fertiliser prices has been introduced, resulting in a data break affecting only the fertiliser price index. The overall price index for agricultural input consumption is still considered comparable over time. The statistics follow common European guidelines and are therefore comparable with similar statistics from other EU countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published annually in a Danish press release.

The consumer price index has been calculated since 1914, but there are estimated figures for the development in consumer prices back to 1872. From January 1967 the index has been calculated on a monthly basis., Statistical presentation, The consumer price index shows the development of prices for goods and services bought by private households in Denmark. Thus, the index also covers foreign households' consumption expenditure in Denmark, but not Danish households' consumption expenditure abroad. The index shows the monthly changes in the costs of buying a fixed basket of goods, the composition of which is made up in accordance with the households' consumption of goods and services. The consumer price indices divided by group of households show the price development for different households. , The price indices for April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December 2020 and January, February, March, April, May and June 2021 are more uncertain than usual, as the non-response rate has been significantly larger than normal and some businesses have been shut down due to COVID-19., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The consumer price index is calculated on the basis of 23,000 prices collected from approx. 1,600 shops, companies and institutions throughout Denmark. Most prices are by far collected monthly. The data material received is examined for errors, both by computer (using the so called HB-method) and manually. The different goods and services, which are included in the consumer price index, are first grouped according to approx. 500 elementary aggregates for which elementary aggregate indices are calculated. The elementary aggregate indices are weighted together into sub-indices that are in turn aggregated into the total consumer price index. In calculating a price index it is assumed that the baskets of goods that are compared are identical, also with respect to the quality of the goods. Mainly indirect quality adjustment methods are being applied in the consumer price index in connection with changes in the sample. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The consumer price index is generally viewed as a reliable statistic based on the views of users., Important users are among others the Ministry of Finance, The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior, The Danish Central Bank and private banks and other financial organizations., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, No calculation has been made of the uncertainty connected with sampling in the consumer price index as the sample is not randomly drawn, but the quality of the consumer price index is accessed to be high., In addition to the "general" uncertainty connected with sampling, there are a number of sources of potential bias in the consumer price index. One source is the consumers substitution between goods and shops and another source is changes in the sample (se chapter regarding "Non-sampling error")., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The consumer price index is published on the 10th or the first working day thereafter, following the month in which the data was collected. , The statistics are published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., The consumer price indices divided by group of households are published twice a year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The consumer price index is related to the European Union harmonized consumer price index (HICP) and to the index of net retail prices. From January 2001, the only difference between the national consumer price index and the HICP is the coverage of goods and services, as owner-occupied dwellings is only recorded in the consumer price index and not in the HICP. The consumer price index is also related to the index of net retail prices. The two indices comprise the same groups of goods and services and are calculated according to the same methodology. Consequently, the only difference between the two indices is the price concept used, as indirect taxes and VAT are subtracted in the index of net retail prices, and the weighting., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published monthly in a Danish press release and in the StatBank under , Consumer Price Index, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

Registers and reference types

Statistics Denmark has gathered a vast series of historical register data in our databank of basic data, which users can access via the platform DDP App. Denmark’s Data Portal manages the databank of basic data and handles access to the platform, support, etc. Most registers in the databank are updated at least once a year in connection with release of the register-based statistics (, see Scheduled releases, ). , The data safari and the List of registers and variables (below) both show the registers in DDP App, and here you can see variables for the individual registers. The documentation of variables is available in Statistics Denmark’s , documentation system, ., Go to Data safari , Go to List of registers and variables (in Danish),  , Overview of rerun registers (in Danish), Genkørte registre 2025-4. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2025-3. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2025-2. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2025-1. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024-4. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024-3. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024-2. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024 - 1. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2023 - 4. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2023 - 3. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2023 - 2. kvt (pdf) , Genkørte registre 2023 - 1. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2022 (pdf),  , Reference types, Registers in the basic data overview are compiled by means of different reference types. Next to each register in the basic data overview, you can see which reference type a register has: ’Status’, ’Statusperiode’ (status period), ’Forløb’ (longitudinal) or ’Hændelse’ (incident)., Status, The reference type shows the status for a given date. For example, LONN (structure of earnings), which shows what a citizen earns as of the register date (e.g. 31 December 2021). Or BEF, which shows the population as of the quarter date (including status of residence, age, family, etc.)., Data definition: Clear status as of a given date. The population delimitation and all data content is focused on the date., Status period, This reference type shows the period status, where the population is delimited as of a given date, but the variables contain summed up data for a specific period. For example, IND, which contains the labour income for a year (the period appears from ’Opdateringsfrekvens’ (update frequency) in the basic data overview). Other examples of status period registers: PERSBEST (board members and managers), MFR (medical birth register), HANDICB (financial support for disability cars), DMRB (motor vehicles). It is not always easy to see what is being summed up., Data definition: The population delimitation is made as of a given date, but the content of the variables is accumulated over a given period. The period cannot be deduced from dates in microdata, but from the indicated period (shown under ‘Opdateringsfrekvens’ (update frequency)) – meaning that content in for example amounts, volumes, quantities etc. is aggregated over the indicated period (e.g. a quarter, a year)., Longitudinal, Here, data covers a longitudinal study. There will always be just one version of the register available. For example, UDD, which contains Highest educational attainment. Or BEFADR, which is an address key register (where e.g. 1.4m addresses changed key on 1 January 2007 in connection with the local government reform). When a longitudinal register is updated, the individual dataset is updated. This is why there is always only one dataset for a longitudinal register., Data definition: The definition of longitudinal data is that data contains a start date and an end date., Incident, Here, data covers an incident. For example, UDFK, which contains primary and lower secondary school marks (does not include a date but a school year), or OPHGIN (basis of right of residence for immigrants). When a longitudinal register is updated, the individual dataset is updated with new incidents. This is why there is always only one dataset., Data definition: The definition of incidents is first and foremost that data contains a date - only one date - for the occurrence of the incident, and will usually also have one incident type attached., Documentation for the use of registers and data packages, Statistics Denmark has prepared a memo describing the coherence between several of the most used registers in Statistics Denmark’s microdata scheme and their connection with the published statistics., The social statistics registers in Statistics Denmark consist of comprehensive data collections, which have been built and extended since the early 1980s. Data is of high quality and comprises the whole population. This gives the users of data unique possibilities of analysis, allowing them to analyse both status at a given point in time and the development over time., The memo is primarily intended for researchers, analysts and other users of microdata who want to obtain deeper insight into the quality of the coherence between the different registers. , Read more on Documentation for the use of registers (in Danish), Datapackages (pdf - in Danish), Especially on the Data Warehouse for Business Statistics, In January 2024, Statistics Denmark launched the new Data Warehouse for Business Statistics – a significant extension and improvement of the existing business registers. , The new warehouse ensures wider and better access to anonymised data on enterprises and facilitates extraction of unique data by linking data across more statistical registers. The data warehouse also facilitates linking of business statistics and social statistics at micro level, the so-called ‘Linked Employer-Employee Data’ (LEED). , Read more in , this brochure (pdf), or see , the presentationen of The Data Warehouse for Business Statistics on 30 November 2023 (pdf), .

The theaters divided into state-subsidized and non-state-subsidized theaters. Statistics for the state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the season 1980/1981. Statistics for the non-state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the 2003/2004 season. Statistics on international guest performances on both state-sponsored and non state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the 2004/2005 season. In season 2005/2006 was the concert and culture hosted international guest performances also included in the statistics. The figures for the season 2015/2016 are not directly comparable with previous figures as there has been a data break. , Statistical presentation, The statistics show annual seasonal activities, productions, performances, spectators and primary audiences at the state-supported and non-state-supported professional theatres. For each production there is information about genre, theater category, activity, stage and audience group.. For the season 2020/2021 and forward, the statistics have been revised, where the number of categories with regards to theatres, genre and audience group have been expanded. Therefore there has been a data break. Two new tables in Statbank has been developed, SCENE08A and SCENE10A, which are consistent back to season 2015/2016. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for this statistics is collected annually from individual theaters via an electronic questionnaire. The collected data is validated for consistency and compared with previous seasons. After validation, the data is aggregated, and imputation is performed for missing responses. Special considerations are taken for extraordinary circumstances, such as closures and restrictions related to COVID-19 during the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons, as well as to some extent in the subsequent seasons, where additional statistical treatment was necessary., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Key users are the Ministry of Culture, government, public and private organizations, researchers and the press. There has not been a user satisfaction., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Reporting for the Performing Arts statistic is voluntary. Therefore, the statistics are not fully comprehensive. Several of the non-state-subsidized theaters report that they do not have resources to cooperate in the investigation. Many reporters are small theater producers / project theaters that receive government subsidies to develop a single production. It can be difficult to get reports from some of these reporters. Yet it is estimated that performing arts statistics cover the majority of activities in performing arts, as all large and medium state-subsidized and non-subsidized theaters, participate in the study in each season., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published approximately six months after the end of the season. Publications are released on time, as stated in the release calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics have been compiled since the season 1980-81. In connection with the changes to the legislative etc., Regulating aid to the theaters, there may be changes in the population, which can complicate comparisons over time. There has been no comparison of these statistics with similar international surveys., StatBank Denmark contains 3 tables with data that can be returned for the season 1981/1982., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in , Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik, (News from Statistics Denmark - in Danish only) and in the StatBank under , Theatre and dramatic art, ., You can also find figures on performing arts in the , Publication on culture, (In Danish only)., Read more about accessibility and clarity

About microdata schemes

Denmark's Data Portal makes data available to authorised institutions for specific research, fact-finding and analytical tasks. Access to data can be granted under various data schemes depending on the institution or the project to which you seek access., The researcher scheme , Researchers and other analysts from authorised institutions can create a project with access to Statistics Denmark’s register data. , Read more about authorisation of institutions, The project database scheme , The project database scheme is intended for institutions that are continuously creating projects with significant overlap in data content. Under this scheme, it is not allowed to carry out research directly on the project database, and the scheme must not be used for projects or tasks that are not directly related to the purpose of the project database. Furthermore, the institution must have one or more employees at who can serve as project database managers, of whom at least one can functions as an administrator. The duties of the project database manager include population generation, data extraction etc. as well as ongoing communication with Statistics Denmark., If you want to apply for a project database to be set up, you must contact the Project database group at , FSEProjektdatabase@dst.dk, ., More on the project database scheme, An authorised institution can have a maximum of one project database. The project database is a collection of pseudonymised microdata. It is used over time for multiple projects (called subprojects) under the relevant project database scheme., For the project database, data is selected from Statistics Denmark’s databank of basic data and, if relevant, data from other sources (such as the institution’s own data). The data content in project databases is subject to the data minimisation principle, and for that reason, data in a project database must be applied in several subprojects., In the project database scheme, the project database is called the main project. Other projects in the project database scheme are subprojects of the project database. The authorised institution that owns the project database therefore owns both the main project and the subprojects in the scheme., The target group of the project database scheme is institutions that:, are authorised for microdata schemes at Statistics Denmark., have at least five active projects with significantly overlapping data., continuously extend their project portfolio with new subprojects with significant overlap in the underlying data., Terms of a project database scheme, Project databases are subject to the following terms:, The institution is required to appoint one to three experienced project database managers who will be the assigned liaison officers with Statistics Denmark. Only project database managers get access to the actual project database., The project database and subprojects are subject to the data minimisation principle., The user must pay for all costs associated with the creation, operation and maintenance of the relevant project database. Subprojects are considered regular projects and are handled and invoiced separately., You can keep a project database going for as long as it is used for active subprojects. The project database can only be preserved as long as it is used for subprojects to an extend that is consistent with the data made available in the project database. The project database can thus be limited or discontinued if Statistics Denmark estimates that this is no longer the case., The authority scheme, The authority scheme makes microdata available to Danish institutions that carry out tasks for the authorities, i.e. departments, agencies and directorates, regions and municipalities. The scheme meets the demand for ad hoc analyses with tight deadlines. , Read more about the Authority scheme,  (in Danish), Data confidentiality and access rules, Access to data is given in agreement with the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation, especially article 5(1)(c): , “Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (‘data minimisation’).” , This also applies to section 10 of the Danish Data Protection Act: , “Data as mentioned in Article 9(1) and Article 10 of the General Data Protection Regulation may be processed where the processing takes place for the sole purpose of carrying out statistical or scientific studies of significant importance to society and where such processing is necessary in order to carry out these studies.” , Read more on Statistics Denmark’s Data confidentiality policy and Information security policy

Population description

In the project proposal, you must describe the population shortly and precisely (without technical terms, details or data specifications), and document who creates the population. You do so under the population description in the DDP App. , Private institutions are able to create the population themselves and get a full register extraction if the project is surveying a major group of entities. To get a full register extraction, private institutions must give reasons for this need based on the size of the population. ,  , When Denmark’s Data Portal must create the population, If Denmark’s Data Portal is going to create the population for your project, this is done on the basis of a framework agreement. Under the population description in the DDP App, you describe the population shortly and precisely (without involving technical details) and add that Statistics Denmark is going to create the population. When Denmark’s Data Portal have received the project proposal, they will contact you about the creation of the population. , Examples of population descriptions:, `The population consists of all persons who have been hospitalised with asthma, which is matched with five controls on sex and birth year per case. The controls must be alive and be residing in Denmark on the index data of the case. Statistics Denmark creates the population.', `The population consists of persons who have had residence permits as refugees, and family members reunited with refugees. Statistics Denmark creates the population.', Framework agreement for extraction description and population creation , Denmark’s Data Portal prepares a framework agreement, which covers counselling regarding the extraction description as well as the subsequent population creation. Based on the framework agreement, we prepare a detailed extraction description in collaboration with the relevant institution. Denmark’s Data Portal uses the extraction description for the final population creation. Based on the institution's criteria and needs regarding the population, we give advice on which registers, variables and variable values that are necessary to create the wanted population. The final extraction description is attached as an appendix to the project proposal. When the extraction description is ready, Denmark’s Data Portal creates the population for the project., How to make the extraction description for the population?, The following elements must be uncovered for the extraction description:, Registers or external data to be used, Periods, including if you want to use registers that are updated annually, quarterly or monthly (for example, BEF (population) is updated quarterly), Conditions based on specific variables and delimitation on specific variable values (for example, if the population must be delimited by age from 15-76 years), How registers must be linked (if several registers are applied), including linking based on specific variables and, if relevant, key register,  , Especially about case control populations , Denmark’s Data Portal uses the term 'case control populations' for analyses where cases (e.g. exposed) are compared with a reference group (controls). The term is used regardless of the type of study. Under the population description in the DDP App, enter a short and precise description of the criteria for cases and controls in the case control population, without involving technical details (including registers and variables). , In collaboration with Denmark’s Data Portal, a detailed extraction description of the case control population is prepared. The final extraction description is attached as an appendix to the project proposal. Please note that the DDP App only creates case control populations based on date and register criteria, not based on more complicated statistical methods such as for example Propensity Score Matching., How to make the extraction description for the case control population?, The following elements must be uncovered for the extraction description: , What characterises cases:, Registers, periods, conditions, and how registers are linked (see description below), If relevant, index date (for example date of first completed vocational education, first hospital discharge date), What characterises the pool of possible controls:, Registers to be used for creating the pool of possible controls, Inclusion and exclusion criteria based on specific variables and variable values (for example sex = 2 (women), municipality = 607 (Fredericia), residence in the period 01-01-2020 until 31-12-2023), Specific criteria for the case control population including:, How many controls are extracted per case?, Whether cases are allowed to be controls of other cases, If controls are allowed to change status in the inclusion period, Extraction with or without replacement: , is a control allowed to be used as a control for more than one case (replacement)?, or can a control only be a control for a specific case (without replacement)?

The statistics have been compiled since 1995, but in its present form comparable from 2003. From the year 2017, the statistics contain only information about sickness benefits because Udbetaling Danmark has taken a new administrative IT system for maternity allowance in use. Maternity benefits will be an independent statistics from 2020. , Statistical presentation, The sickness and maternity allowance is an annual statement of the number of persons, days and amounts paid in connection with illness or childbirth. From the year 2017 only information for unemployment benefit paid in connection with illness. The calculations are distributed according to the legal basis for the payment of unemployment benefits, age, sex and geography. In addition, figures from the daily allowance for sickness and birth are included in the statistics, Publicly Provided, where the extent of absence due to illness or maternity leave is included in a larger context. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data comes from the two administrative registers The Administrative Joint-municipal Register for Sickness Benefits and the National Administrative Register for Childbirth Benefits (ended May 2017). When received there are some mechanical monitoring and doublets are removed. When estimating the duration of a case not having a finale date the final date is set to the last day of the year if the case is about sickness benefits. If the case is about childbirth benefits the final date is estimated as the starting date plus the average length measured in days of similar cases having a finale date., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The maternity and paternity leave part of the statistic is used by ministries for reasons of gender equality policy and of the unions and the employers' organizations in connection with collective bargaining. The sickness benefit part of the statistic is together with the maternity and paternity leave part section mostly used as an important data element of Analyses of the Danish workforce productivity (economic modeling), Statistics Labour Market Accounts, Statistics Persons receiving public benefits and general absence statistics., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics summarize the reports of illness, birth or adoption that have triggered the payment of unemployment benefit. The expectation is that all sickness benefit issues with payment will be reported. Similarly, the expectation is that all cases of payment due to maternity leave, maternity leave or leave due to adoption are reported. Therefore, the statistics can be expected to be reliable. However, there are a number of cases that will only be reported long after the end of the year to which the case relates, why the last year is not fully updated., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published annually in the month of March the year after the reference year. March is chosen as the compromise of current interest and waiting for the last reports of the year to appear. At publishing time the newest data will be less than three months old., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics is influenced by local Danish law.

The figures for the EU countries are collected from EU’s statistical office, Eurostat, which publishes the figures on their homepage on a quarterly basis. Eurostat collects information from each member state’s national statistical institution. The U.S. figures are collected by the U.S. Department of Labour, Bureau of Labor Statistics, which publishes their figures on their own homepage. , The international labour cost indices are not directly comparable with the national indices of average earnings., Statistical presentation, The indices are published on a quarterly basis to show developments of the Danish and other countries labour costs in an international setting. The figures from EU member countries are based on EU-harmonized regulations. It is expected that the harmonization will extend gradually over time. The numbers are not fully comparable to the Danish national indices of average earnings, which are collected and published quarterly. The international labour cost indices are exclusively published in Statistics Denmark’s quarterly news release , NYT fra Danmarks Statistik, entitled , International Labour Costs, , and where the EU-figures are collected from Eurostat database while the US figures stems from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) database., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data is collected from different sources where the data already has gone through statistical processing before being published., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The indices are used to compare and analyze how the Danish labour costs perform in an international setting, as it is an important indicator of the state of play of the Danish competitiveness compared to other countries. The statistics are therefore often mentioned in the daily news press and are often an important feature in the national public debate., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, As the methods used for collection and production of the indices differ in all the countries included in the international labour cost indices, it is only possible to make any conclusions on the accuracy and reliability of the Danish index., In general the reliability of the Danish labour cost index is, due to the size of the sample and the thorough search for errors which is performed, considered to be quite good. This is especially true in the case of the indices on the more aggregate level, such as for the whole business economy or the largest sectors of economic activity.
