The OECD cross-section sectoral indicators measure regulatory conditions in the professional services and retail distribution sectors. The retail indicators cover barriers to entry, operational restrictions, and price controls. In 2008, these indicators were updated and revised; they are now estimated for the years 1998, 2003 and 2008.
The retail indicator is described in OECD Economics Department working paper “Product market regulation in non-manufacturing sectors of OECD countries: measurement and highlights”.
The original work on the retail indicators is described in "Regulatory Reform in Retail Distribution", OECD Economic Studies: Special issue: regulatory reform, No 32, 2001/1.
The retail indicators can be accessed via the OECD Stats Browser. Alternatively, Excel files of the full set of these indicators are also available.

The main sources of information used to construct the professional services and retail indicators are the responses of OECD member governments to the Regulatory Indicators Questionnaire. All of these data have been extensively checked by OECD and government experts. The regulatory data used to construct these indicators can be viewed or downloaded in an excel file.
