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 and exist for 1998 and 2003.
The 2003 update and revision of 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 assessed via the OECD Stats Browser. Alternatively, Excel files of the full sets of these indicators are also available.
