National Accounts Articles: Analysis of revisions in Blue Books and Pink Books, 2017 

ONS has today published new analysis of historic revisions to GDP, including the causes and scale of revisions. The analysis shows that between 2005-2015, the average revision to quarterly GDP growth between the first estimate and two years later was +0.003 percentage points. Over the same period, the average absolute revision (which ignores whether revisions were positive or negative) was 0.2 percentage points.
