Industry Growth Accounting Database
All series derived from this database need to be referred to as:
"O'Mahony and van Ark (2003) CD-ROM"
For the Industry Growth Accounting Database, data on labour skills (three categories)
and investment and capital services (3 ICT asset categories and 3 non-ICT categories) have
been constructed for the US and 4 European countries (France, Germany, The Netherlands and
the UK) in addition to the output and labour input estimates from the Industry Labour
Productivity Database. This allows for a decomposition of output growth into into the
contributions of quantity and quality of labour and capital, and total factor productivity
using the growth accounting methodology. This database has been constructed for the European
Commission.
A full description and analysis of the database can be found in:
Mary O'Mahony and Bart van Ark, eds., EU Productivity
and Competitiveness: An Industry Perspective Can Europe Resume the Catching-up Process?, Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, Luxembourg, 2003

A detailed example of the calculation of quantities and quality of labour and capital to
aggregate growth is given in a separate example-file.
