  1. A comparison between the results of two methods used to calculate contributions to growth in terms of percentage points of GDP growth. The first and third columns show domestic and external contributions to growth estimated using the standard method. The second and fourth columns show domestic and external contributions to growth estimated using the alternative approach put forward in this study
