Preferred Data Series

  • We encourage the use of "ProdT_PPP_Benchmark" and "ProdNT_PPP_Benchmark" for cross-country studies.

Caution using USD based data

  • Productivity series for countries with current USD data (labeled _USD_) should not be used for cross country comparisons.

  • That data should only be used when making individual country studies.
