A. The measurement of capital stocks
In the ISDB, gross capital stock data are used as measures of
capital input in the production process, representing the total volume of the existing physical capital assets available in the respective countries and sectors. Gross capital stocks are not, however, generally available at the detailed sector level for many of the countries.
When official fixed capital stock data are available and when these data are consistent with the gross fixed capital formation in the data base, they are stored in ISDB. But where official data are missing, estimates have been made using a perpetual inventory model similar to that used by national administrations. The following paragraphs describe the basic procedures involved.
The perpetual inventory method simulates the process of capital accumulation, using data for past capital formation expenditures adjusted for scrapping, according to the following relationship:
GCS = Σ INVj * gj
where GCS = gross capital stock in constant prices INV = gross fixed capital formation in constant prices g = the survival coefficient j = vintage of investment
The survival coefficient, g, represents the amount of capital formation of a given vintage still installed at a given point in time. The capital stock estimate is thus related to capital which is believed to be available, but not necessarily utilised: The survival coefficient lies between 1 and 0 and is commonly assurned to be a decreasing function of time. The exact values are usually defined in terms of certain "survival" or "mortality" functions, which, in practise, vary widely between different national statistical offices1.
1 For surveys of these methods, see WARD, M. (1969), "The Measurement of capital", OECD, Paris
In the calculations reported here, a delayed linear retirement pattern is assumed, with scrapping beginning five years after the capital asset has been installed. Such a mortality function is flexible, easy to use and consistent with the assumption of an acceleration in the rate of scrapping as capital assets approach the end of their service lives. It also comes close to the class of survival functions used by a majority of national statistical offices.
The impact of a delay in scrapping on the estimated levels of the capital stock depends on the rate of growth of capital investment. If investment is not growing, the estimated level of the capital stock is not affected by the delay. If the level of investment is rising over time, the estimated level of the capital stock will be higher, the longer the initial delay period. Conversely, its level will be smaller when investment is failing. A number of alternative specifications have also been considered, but the gross capital stock estimates proved to be relatively insensitive to the choice of mortality functions, except in the case of extreme assumptions, such as "simultaneous exits" or "sudden deaths", as reported by Blades (1983)2.

To stay as close as possible to the official fixed capital stock data, ISDB utilised service life statistics for capital assets as published by national sources (see those cited by the OECD (1993)3, and Pacoud (1983)4). The service life statistics are expressed in the form of the average service life, the ASL, of the asset. They are employed to calculate the values of the survival coefficient - g - in formula [1] .

The stochastic process that determines the survival of a given investment can be formulated in several ways. For instance the density function shows the amount of investment of a certain age scrapped during the year. Here this function is a straight line, since a linear retirement pattern is assumed where the same amount - a - is scrapped each year. This straight line is shown in graph A as P5-P6 and its value is P6-P3. Other specifications are possible, sometimes a bell shaped scrapping profile is assumed. Thus at the start only a small amount of the original investment is scrapped. Afterwards the scrapping accelerates till it has reached a maximum value. A decline will follow till scrapping becomes practically equal to zero.
An equivalent way of specifying the stochastic process is the distribution function (D). This gives the cumulative share of the investment scrapped. At the start it is zero and at the end one. It is indicated by the line ax where x stands for the age of the investment good and a for the amount scrapped. The mirror image of this function is the survival function (Y) which gives the share of the original investment still in the capital stock and is equal to the coefficient g in equation [1] . It is thus the reverse of the distribution function: namely equal to one in the begining and zero at the end. In the graph, it is visualised by the line 1-ax. Thus the part scrapped of the original investment at age x is:
D = ax
and the part still left in the capital stock or the survival function:
Y= 1-ax
If the last depreciation has taken place in period n then:
D=an= 1
Y= 1 -an=0
Thus 1 a = _ n
The average service life (ASL) is equal to the sum of the parts of the initial investment scrapped multiplied by the relevant class average of their age (x + 1/2) over the period 0 to n.
1 1
ASL= Σ a(x+ - )= aΣ (x) + an * -
2 2
Σ(x) is an example of an arithmetic progression and remembering 1 that a = - n
1 n(n-1) 1 n n
ASL = - * ------ + - * - = -
n 2 n 2 2
Thus n can be calculated when ASL is known:
n = 2 * ASL
and g in fonnula [ 1 ] becomes
1 1 1
g = (1-a(x + - )) = (1 -[---------](x + - )]
2 2* ASL 2
The delayed scrapping can now be introduced starting in period S. Thus n = m + S. This leads to the following function for GCS used in the ISDB for the capital stock calculation:
1
GCS = Σ INVt - i(for i=0 to S-1) + Σ [(1-am+ -))INVt -m -s]
2
In graph A, the capital stock is represented by the surface P1, P2, P3, P4 and P1. This surface has the same size as the area representing the capital stock obtained with the same average service life but assuming a sudden death at the age ASL. This underlines the point made earlier that the assumption about the shape of the survival curve does not have a big impact on the size of the capital stock if investment stays rather constant over time.
For comparative purposes, the capital stock data thus obtained are expressed in constant US dollars (see table 1.1). The average service life assumptions used are reported on the next page.
The scrapping rate assumptions used by different national authorities tend to differ widely, for reasons which reflect the methods of estimation used rather than fundamental differences in the nature of the capital goods or their utilisation. For example, the assumed average service life of buildings in manufacturing is 42 years in Finland, compared with 70 years in Sweden. To analyse in greater detail the importance of such differences for the estimation of total factor productivity growth (see part 3 section B), some preliminary tests were carried out: factor productivity estimates were first calculated, by sector, using capital stock estimates based on cross-country mean average service life for each sector ; these were then compared with alternative estimates based on country-specific scrapping rate assumptions. The resulting differences in estimates were found to be quite significant for the levels of capital stock estimates but relatively minor for factor productivity growth. In general, it was found that use of sectoral mean ASLs tended to give capital/output ratios which were more similar between countries, as might be expected.
A major diffculty in estimating capital stocks; whether at an aggregate or sectoral level, is the lack of sufficiently long capital expenditure time series and adequate historical benchmarks. In the present study, specifc procedures were adopted using a combination of the available time-series information and « reasonable » assumptions concerning the capital-output ratio, the scrapping rate and the intersectoral distribution of capital. Essentially, these procedures involved the estimation of capital stock benchmarks and corresponding investment data for the period 1967 to 1973. The resulting historical time series estimates for investment by sector were then combined with actual data for the period 1970 to 1995 and passed through the capital stock estimation procedure described by equation [11] above $.
5 In calculating consistent capital expenditure series, the following steps were taken : a) Benchmark indices for the capital stock at an aggregate level were calculated for the period 1860 to 1930 with available output growth rates for this period and unchanged capital-output ratios and then extrapolated from 1930 to 1980, using annual output series.
b) Given the resulting capital stock series, corresponding investment time series estimates were then calculated and re-scaled, on a sectoral basis, using the average recorded levels for 1967 to 1973.
c) The resulting reference series were then merged with actual data, starting from the earliest period for which sectoral data were available.
d) The capital stocks were then recalculated, using equations [1] and [11] on the basis of the merged investment time series for the period 1860 to 1995.

B. Total Factor Productivity (TFP)
The concept of total factor productivity (TFP), has been the focus of interest in a number of recent studies, notably at the level of aggregate manufacturing industry and the business sector. The ISDB permits the extension of a similar approach to a number of individual sectors of the economy. Essentially, total factor productivity growth is calculated as the difference between output growth and the weighted growth of factor inputs, in this case capital and labour inputs. A common assumption is to use the respective factor shares in total costs as individual factor weights, following a Cobb-Douglas type production function freework.
The lack of data relating to hours worked, both for labour and capital, represents an important limitation to the existing TFP measures, particularly at a sectoral level. Hours-worked data are not always ideal, since they often relate to hours paid for rather than hours actually worked. The latter might be lower during periods of labour hoarding than in periods of labour scarcity, even with identical numbers of hours worked recorded. For capital, too, working hours may differ from those reported for labour, for example as the result of multiple shift work which in many countries has tended to increase the length of the "work week" of fixed capital over the period. In any event the relevant data are not available at the sector level used in this database.
Although it is fairly common practise to use calculated
factor shares to aggregate labour and capital as a composite measure of inputs into the production process, preliminary inspection of the data sources suggests that the automatic use of theavailable data for different variables and clifferent sectors may be hazardous. Indeed, in a number of cases important differences in factor shares, both between sectors and countries, seem more likely to reflect differences in the coverage of individual categories of data than actual differences in factor shares.
To assess the extent of this kind of problem, factor shares have been calculated by country and sector on the following basis : ET SW = COMP .— / VA* EE
Where : SW = share of labour in value added ET = total employment EE = total employees COMP = compensation of employees VA* = value added, at current prices
In these calculations, total compensation is re-scaled by the ratio of total employment to total employees in order to include also self-employed in the weighting scheme. In effect, the self employed are assurned to be paid same average rate of compensation as employees and the same marginal rate of productivity is assumed for dependent and independent workers7.
7 In a number of cases, notably in sectors where unpaid family workers are included in the category of independent workers or self-employed, such an adjustment can introduce a distorsion such that the calculated labour weights exceeds 100 per cent. In such cases, the labour weights were set to the sample mean values.
Analysis of these data across countries shows some important outliners, with the most notable differences occurring in the calculated labour shares for agriculture, mining, social services, basic metals and residual manufacturing. Nonetheless, there is a striking tendency, with the majority of sectors in the majority of countries showing labours shares very close to 70 per cent. The main systematic sectoral differences across countries are for government services with a labour share of 94 per cent and for "Electricity, gas and water", "mining and quarrying" and "Real estate", with labour shares slightly below one-third.
The main reason for the high labour share in the government sector is the omission of imputed rents for its capital stock in the national account system. It has not been tried here to estimate weights for the two production factors and therefore the government TFP has not been calculated. It also might be questioned whether the calculation of TFP for agricultural sector is relevant since e.g. land is not included in the capital stock.
Given these weights, total factor prnductivity indices were calculated using the formula: VA TFP =[————————]/TFP0 ET(w) * GCS(1-w) where : TFP = total factor productivity index GCS = Gross capital stock VA = value added w = standardised labour share weights TFP0 = Total factor productivity, 1985 value

Industry coverage
The general sectoral breakdown used is taken from the International Standard Industrial Classifcation (ISlI) (see table 3.1.) currently used in the OECD National Accounts (ANA) publication. The latter represents the primary source of information for most countries, along with the OECD Labour force Statistics (LFS) publication. For EU countries, data are also drawn from Eurostat ("National Accounts ESA, detailed tables by branch")
The Eurostat data are classifed according to the NACE classifcation (see table 3.2.) which differ from the ISIC. In developing sector groupings, the matching of ISIC sectors against NACE sectors involves a considerable degree of aggregation and approximation (see table 3.3.).
A detailed comparison of the industry coverage is given in this part. The following sources have been used.

PGS
Producers of government services
The producers of government services furnish, but normally do not sell, to the community those common services which cannot otherwise be conveniently and economically provided, and administer the State and the economic and social policy of the community. Their activities therefore differ substantially in character, cost-structure and source of finance from the activities of industries. The activities of the government services are largely financed by the government itself; and they are consequently considered to be the final consumers of most of the services and goods which they produce. Their cost-structure does not contain an element of operating surplus; and is made up, to a substantial extent, of compensation of employees. A very minor portion of the gross output of the producers of govemment services may be disposed of in the market on the terms which will result in classifcation as a commodity.
The producers of government services should include all bodies, department and establishments of government-central, state or provincial, district or county, municipal, town or village - which engage in a wide range of activities, for example, administration, defence and regulation of the public order; health, educational, cultural, recreational and other social services; and promotion of economic growth and welfare and technological development. The legislature, executive, departments, establishments and other bodies of government should be included, inespective of their treatment in the actual government accounts. It is immaterial whether they are accounted for in ordinary or extraordinary budgets, or in extra- budgetary funds.
In addition to the government units in the narrower sense, the producers of government services should include social security arrangements and certain other non-profit bodies even though they are not formally part of government. These are social security schemes and non-profit bodies which, by virtues of the relations with a government, are clearly instruments of the social or economic policies of the government. In some countries, these schemes and organizations are formally government bodies, while in other countries, this is not the case.
Embassies, consulates and military establishments of a country local abroad are also included.
NACE-CLIO (R44)
OPR
Other producers
"Other producers" should include the producers of private non-profit services to households and domestic services rendered by one household to another.
The role in an economy of the producers of private non-profit services to households is in certain respects, similar to that of some of the producers of government services. They furnish social and community services to households on convenient terms which would not otherwise be available. Like the producers of government services, the bodies under discussion provide the services to households on a non-profit basis. However, other facets of the arrangements under which the private non-profit producers operate are different. They consist of voluntary associations of individuals who have banded together in order to carry on specific activities. Some of these associations of individuals are designed to perform functions which the public authorities would not ordinarily undertake. Examples of such associations are trade unions, religious groups, fraternal societies and social clubs.
The transactors included in this category of producers primarily furnish services to households such as education, medical and dental care, welfare assistance, religion, and cultural, recreational and social facilities. The producers of private non-profit services to households differ from the industries and producers of government services engaged in the samne kind of economic activity, in respect of their sources of finance and control.
Though the private non-profit producers may sell some of their services to households, the receipts from these sales will not fully cover the costs of producing all of the services and goods they furnish. Their full cost of production, reduced by the receipts from sales, is considered to be their final consumption expenditure. The bulk of the services and goods they produce will not be classed as commodities. However, when the receipts from the sales of given services and goods cover the full costs of producing the items in question, these services and goods are classifed as commodities.
Much of the activities of producers of private non-proft services to households is usually financed through the dues of members, contributions, grants and endowments from individuals, business units and government, and income from property. The bodies may be societies, trade unions, churches, schools, hospitals, foundations, fraternal organizations, clubs etc., which have been founded by association of individuals without the aim of making profit. They may be incorporated or unincorporated. Associations of individuals should effectively determine the policies, programmes and activities of the private non-profit bodies. They may do this direcdy, by means of the selection of the officers, managers and executives, and/or through the election of a board of directors. Excluded from the producers of private non-profit services to households are units which, while not officially part of an organ of government, are wholly or mainly financed and controlled by the public authorities. These bodies are classed as producers of government services (PGS).

General notes
The following tables report for each country the specifc sources used in the preparation of sectoral data.
Individual country notes are attached, concerning specific data availability, sources, reporting conventions and methods of construction. The generalised source abbreviations are as follows:
ANA OECD Annual National Accounts
LFS OECD Labour Force Statistics
CRO NEWCRONOS (Eurostat National Accounts)
* Secretariat estimates
.. Missing value
-> It is to be noted that, as several sources have been used for the same country, or because of re-basing, an aggregate series can be different than the sum of its components (for example, in total manufacturing industries (MAN) or in total industries (TIN)). The following tables will help to explain these differences.
KTVD
Although a standard format is used, most capital stock data are
based on national sources and have been compiled according to each country's own definitions. The national systems used in most countries are identical with or close to the System of National Accounts (SNA), the most important divergences with the SNA have been indicated in the explanatory notes. When the series are not comparable with the other aggregates, data have been estimated using a Perpetual Inventory Model similar to that used by Member countries. (See part 2, section A).
RKMV
The ratio of machinery and equipment over total capital stock at
1985 prices is obtained from the data base used for the OECD publication entitled "Flows and stocks of fixed capital". This ratio is not available for Japan, Norway and the Netherlands.
XGS, MGS
For imports and exports, the series of manufacturing
industries are taken from the OECD COMTAP data bank- for all countries. See OECD, department of Economics and Statistics Working Paper no 60; "Compatible Trade and Production Data Base : 1970-1985".
For EU countries, agriculture (AGR) and fuel and power products
(EGW) series are taken from the CRONOS data bank. The remaining series are not available.
All series are available from 1970 to 1992.
PPP
Output, investment and capital stock have been expressed in
constant dollar terms by means of purchasing power parities available in the OECD National Accounts publication ("Main aggregates", volume 1, part seven). See also table 1.1. (page 6) and "glossary of main terms" for PPP definition.
