About this data
This dataset provides indicators on labour productivity for large and small regions. Real values are deflation-adjusted using the Regional Producer Price Index (ROPI), where available. Data source and definition Labour productivity is measured as gross value added per employment at place of work by main economic activity. Regional gross value added and employment data are collected from Eurostat (reg_eco10) for EU countries and via delegates of the OECD Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI), as well as from national statistical offices' websites. In order to allow comparability over time and across countries, data in current prices are transformed into constant prices and PPP measures. Definition of regions Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). For more information, see the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and the OECD Territorial Correspondence Table (xlsx). Use of economic data on small regions When economic analyses are carried out at the TL3 level, it is advisable to aggregate data at the metropolitan region level when several TL3 regions are associated to the same metropolitan region. Metropolitan regions combine TL3 regions when 50% or more of the regional population live in a functionnal urban areas above 250 000 inhabitants. This approach corrects the distortions created by commuting. Correspondence between TL3 and metropolitan regions:(xlsx). Small regions (TL3) are categorized based on shared characteristics into regional typologies. See the economic indicators aggregated by territorial typology at country level on the access to City typology (link) and by urban-rural typology (link).
