| STAN database |
| The STructural ANalysis (STAN)
database for
industrial analysis provides analysts and researchers
with a comprehensive tool for analysing industrial
performance at a relatively detailed level of activity
across countries. It includes annual measures of output,
labour input, investment and international trade which
allow users to construct a wide range of indicators to
focus on areas such as productivity growth,
competitiveness and general structural change. The
industry list provides sufficient detail to enable users
to highlight high-technology sectors and is compatible
with those used in related OECD databases. STAN is primarily based on Member countries' annual national accounts by activity and uses data from other sources, such as national business surveys/censuses (SSIS), to estimate any missing detail. Since many of the data points in STAN are estimated, they do not represent official Member country submissions. |
| SEC database |
| The
Statistics on Enterprises by size Class database (SEC) is
under development. It already contains a wide number of
structural statistics for a selected number of variables
with the same definitions as SSIS variables when possible.
Data are classified according to ISIC Revision 3 (up to 3rd
or 4th level) for about a dozen size classes (1-9, 10-19,
20-49, 50-99, 100-199, 200-249, 250-499, 500-1000, 1000+,
Total). Depending on sources and methodology in particular whether it is survey based or business register based, the "Total" class can be compared to SSIS data. |
| ICT database |
| The OECD Information and Communication Technology (ICT) database is under development. It aims to provide a set of statistics drawn from official sources that measure the ICT both from the supply side (ICT producing industries) and demand side (ICT diffusion and use) point of view. On the supply side, it measures the output of the ICT sector in a consistent manner that adheres to a common international definition. For this reason, data achieves a greater level of international comparability and may differ from the statistics published by individual Member countries. The supply side covers such variables as production, value added, investment, employment and wages and salaries. ICT sectors are presented according to the ISIC Revision 3 classification. For the ICT supply side data, the ICT database is based exclusively on official data originating either directly from the OECD SSIS database or from national statistical offices. |
