EU KLEMS Growth and Productivity Accounts: Data in the ISIC Rev. 4 industry classification
For more details and analysis, see: Timmer, Inklaar , O'Mahony and van Ark, Economic Growth in Europe, Cambridge University Press, 2010
Introduction
The 2012 EU KLEMS release follows up from the previous release in 2009 which showed detailed growth accounts up to 2007. This new release is similar in concepts and methodologies to calculate the various growth and productivity variables as its predecessors, but it also has a number of new features;
- It provides updates and data for additional years and revisions of longer time-series in case national statistical institutes (NSIs) provided these.
- For labour composition use has been made of the micro-data underlying the European Labour Force Survey (LFS) for recent years.
- New investment data has been provided by the EU KLEMS consortium partners.
- Most importantly, a new industrial classification is used based on the new international ISIC Revision 4 industry classification, which is consistent with the European NACE 2 industry classification. The National Accounts (NA) data in the new classification is typically provided for shorter time series than were previously available in the ISIC Rev. 3 (NACE 1) classification. We back-cast time series of output and labour data using growth rates from the earlier data in the ISIC Rev. 3 classification. These imputations are denoted in grey in the new release.

The EU KLEMS updates in the new ISIC Rev. 4 industry classification are being done on a country by country basis. New releases are dependent on the availability of data and resources. Documentation will be provided separately for each country and release.
