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.
