Manufacturing Productivity and Unit Labour Cost Database
All series derived from this database need to be referred to as:
"O'Mahony and van Ark (2003) CD-ROM"
The Manufacturing Productivity and Unit Labour Cost Database consists of relative levels
of productivity and unit labour cost for 20 manufacturing industries for 14 countries in
the European Union and the United States. The estimates are based on unit value ratios,
which are industry-specific conversion factors derived on the basis of relative producer
prices, for 1997. 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

This database is consistent with the Industry Labour Productivity
Database. An example of the calculation of
labour productivity levels has been constructed to clarify the bridge between the databases.
More data on the manufacturing sector can be found in the ICOP
Database.
