    Abstract: Capital services measures have long been recognised as the appropriate concept to capture capital input in production and productivity analysis. However, only few countries’ statistical agencies construct and publish such capital services measures. This paper describes capital services measures developed by OECD and presents estimation methods and results for the G7 countries. By way of example, the consequences of applying capital services measures instead of measures of gross or net capital stocks in the computation of rates of multi-factor productivity growth are examined for three countries, the United States, France and Australia ...

    Abstract: This paper discusses the main measurement issues in calculating productivity indicators, and provides guidance to researchers and statisticians in addressing these difficulties. It draws on the OECD Productivity Manual and on recent OECD work on productivity levels. The paper examines a range of issues related to the measurement of productivity growth, including the choice of output measure (gross output versus value added), the measurement of output, labour and capital input, as well as index number issues. It also discusses OECD estimates of productivity levels and the key measurement issues in deriving these estimates, including the appropriate conversion from one currency unit to another. A final section discusses the interpretation of productivity measures, including their most common applications and the possible pitfalls. The paper concludes that substantial progress has been made in recent years to improve the comparability of productivity statistics. In many countries, however, basic source data are still the key limitation to the development of comparable indicators of productivity. In addition, statisticians, researchers and policy makers need to be more aware of the appropriate uses and interpretation of productivity statistics.

    Abstract: Cette étude examine les principaux problèmes rencontrés lors du calcul d’indicateurs de productivité. Elle fournit également des pistes aux chercheurs et aux statisticiens pour résoudre ces problèmes. Elle se fonde sur le Manuel de la productivité de l’OCDE et sur les travaux récents de l’OCDE dans ce domaine. Elle traite tout un ensemble de thèmes liés à l’estimation de la croissance de la productivité, notamment le choix d’un indicateur représentatif de la production (production brute ou valeur ajoutée), l’estimation de cette production, le rôle des facteurs travail et capital, ainsi que les problèmes liés au calcul d’indices. Elle passe ensuite en revue les estimations de l’OCDE relatives à la productivité ainsi que les principaux aspects du calcul de ces estimations, y compris la meilleure façon d’opérer les conversions entre devises. La dernière section est consacrée à l’interprétation des indicateurs de productivité, aux applications les plus fréquentes des résultats et aux principaux écueils à éviter. L’étude conclut que des progrès substantiels ont été réalisés ces dernières années pour rendre plus comparables les statistiques de productivité. Cependant, les données de base de nombreux pays constituent encore le principal obstacle à la construction d’indicateurs comparables de productivité. En outre, il faut que les statisticiens, les chercheurs et les décideurs soient mieux informés sur les utilisations et l’interprétation qui peuvent être faites des statistiques de productivité.

    Abstract: This paper compares the impact of ICT capital accumulation on output growth in Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. The analysis uses a growth accounting framework and a newly compiled database of investment in ICT equipment and software based on the System of National Accounts 1993 (SNA93). It is found that over the past two decades, ICT contributed between 0.2 and 0.5 percentage point per year to economic growth, depending on the country. During the second half of the 1990s, this contribution rose to 0.3 to 0.9 percentage point per year.

    Abstract: Cet article présente une étude comparative de l’incidence de l’accumulation de capital TIC sur la croissance de la production en Allemagne, en Australie, au Canada, aux États-Unis, en Finlande, en France, en Italie, au Japon et au Royaume-Uni. L’analyse se fonde sur un cadre de comptabilité de la croissance et sur une base de données récemment constituée pour les investissements en TIC et logiciels dans l’optique du Système de comptabilité nationale (SCN93). Il en ressort qu’au cours des deux dernières décennies, la contribution des TIC à la croissance économique s’est établie entre 0.2 et 0.5 point de pourcentage par an selon les pays. Mais durant la seconde moitié des années 90, elle est passée à 0.3-0.9 point de pourcentage par an.

    Keywords: Science and Technology
    Abstract: This paper examines how measurement problems affect international comparisons of labour productivity. It suggests that these measurement problems do not significantly affect the assessment of aggregate productivity patterns in the OECD area. However, these problems do influence the more detailed assessment of productivity growth, notably the role of specific sectors and demand components in aggregate performance. The paper shows that there are only a few significant problems regarding the comparability of nominal GDP across OECD countries, the most important being the treatment of software investment. In most cases, efforts are underway to reduce the size of these differences. Measurement differences for real GDP are also important, although several of these factors have impacts that work in different directions. Moreover, several of these problems primarily affect the distribution of total GDP across different expenditure categories and across different activities, not necessarily ...

    Keywords: Science and Technology
    Abstract: Investment in information technologies has by no means been confined to the United States and yet, average European or Japanese growth experience has been quite different. The paper compares the impact of ICT capital accumulation on output growth in Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. The analysis uses a newly compiled database of investment in ICT equipment and software based on the System of National Accounts 1993 (SNA93). Over the past two decades, ICT contributed between 0.2 and 0.5 percentage points per year to economic growth, depending on the country. During the second half of the 1990s, this contribution rose to 0.3 to 0.9 percentage points per year. The paper shows that, despite differences between countries, the United States has not been alone in benefiting from the positive effects of ICT capital investment on economic growth nor was the United States the sole country to experience an acceleration of these ...

    High-Growth Firms and Employment (2000)

    Series Statement: OECD Science, Technology and Industry Working Papers no.2000/03
    Keywords: Science and Technology
    Abstract: This STI Working Paper deals with this group of rapidly expanding firms. It does so by placing the discussion into a context of entrepreneurship, arguing that there are two main aspects to this notion: one of business start-ups and market entry, and another one of innovation. Evidence is based on results from five OECD countries (Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Sweden) as well as from Quebec (Canada). Each of these studies used a firm-level data set to identify high-growth firms and their differentiating characteristics. High-growth firms are those firms that rank first according to a measure that combines relative (percentage) and absolute rates of employment expansion. Despite considerable differences in the underlying data and some of the methodologies, number of common findings emerge: High-growth firms account for a disproportionately large part of gross jobs gained. Small firms exhibit higher net job creation rates than large firms do. At the same time, significant flows ...

    Series Statement: OECD Science, Technology and Industry Working Papers no.2000/02
    Keywords: Science and Technology
    Abstract: This paper deals with the contribution of information and communication technology (ICT) to economic growth and to labour and multi-factor productivity. It uses a well-established growth accounting framework to assess the role of ICTs as capital inputs and the contribution of these capital inputs to output growth. The paper provides an international perspective by presenting results for the G7 countries. For this purpose, data on ICT investment expenditure were compiled from several sources, to construct measures of ICT capital stocks and capital services. Special care was taken to account for the methodological differences in price deflators for computers as they exist across OECD countries. For all seven countries, the report finds that ICT capital goods have been important contributors to economic growth, although the role of ICT has been most accentuated in the United States. An important limitation of the study lies in the timeliness of internationally comparable data. ...

    Abstract: This paper discusses growth performance in the OECD countries over the past two decades. Special attention is given to developments in labour productivity, allowing for human capital accumulation, and multifactor productivity (MFP), allowing for changes in the composition and quality of physical capital. The paper suggests wide (and growing) disparities in GDP per capita growth, while differences in labour productivity have remained broadly stable. These patterns are explained by different employment growth rates across countries. In the most recent years, a rise in MFP growth in ICT-related industries has boosted aggregate growth in some countries (e.g. the United States) ...
