OECD Main Economic Indicators: Online Sources and Definitions - Work Started and in Progress

 MEI: Sources and Definitions provides a brief summary outline of current national practices for each country for which data are published in MEI. Information is published under four broad headings: definition, coverage, collection and calculation. This publication also outlines the conceptual basis of a range of methodological issues relevant to the presentation of statistics in MEI.

This publication provides data at a very detailed sectoral level including: turnover, value-added, production, operating surplus, employment, labour costs and investment to name but a few.
