Methodological note describing the OECD estimates of productivity levels and the differences between previously published OECD estimates and current estimates.

Total Inputs Based on Harmonised Price Indices for ICT Capital Goods - Data: Percentage Changes

A volume index of combined labour and capital inputs for the total economy. The index has been constructed as a weighted average of the rate of change of total hours worked and the rate of change of capital services. Cost shares of inputs averaged over the two periods under consideration serve as weights (Törnqvist index). Price indices for information and communication technology assets are those published by the U.S. Bureau of

This paper describes capital services measures developed by the OECD and presents estimation methods and results for the G7 countries. By way of example, the consequences of applying
