1.1 | Brief Description of the Multifactor Productivity Statistical Databank |
Data published in: The Trends in Multifactor Productivity, Taiwan Area, Republic of China, Chapter III, Tables 1-20.
Data released by: Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan, Republic of China.
Data updated Annually.
For your reference, the Appendix copied the "Methodology for Compilation of Multifactor Productivity Statistics" from the original publication.
In Chapter 2, we will list all retrieval codes of MFP according to the Table order in the publication.
We hope you may easily find the retrieval codes for the data you need in Chapter 2. However, it might be helpful if you are familiar with how we construct these retrieval codes. Generally speaking, each retrieval code has two parts:
(1) The first part consists of a certain English abbreviation to represent a particular "concept" in the multifactor productivity statistics. For example:
GK -- Real Gross Fixed Capital Stock
| |
NK -- Real Net Fixed Capital Stock
| |
GKP -- Gross Fixed Capital Stock Productivity
| |
NKP -- Net Fixed Capital Stock Productivity
| |
GKI -- Gross Fixed Capital Intensity GK/L
| |
NKI -- Net Fixed Capital Intensity NK/L
| |
LSH -- Labor Share
| |
KSH -- Capital Share
| |
JTOR -- TORNQVIST Index
| |
JMFP -- Index of Multifactor Productivity
| |
JTFP -- Index of Total Factor Productivity
| |
(2) The second part is a "modifier" following an "@" sign and placed right behind the initial English abbreviation. These modifiers are usually some English abbreviations representing a certain category in multifactor productivity statistics. For example, GK (Real Gross Fixed Capital Stock) can be subdivided as:
GK@MFG: Real Gross Fixed Capital Stock - Manufacturing
| |
| GK@EGW: Real Gross Fixed Capital Stock - Electrictiy, Gas & Water
| |
| GK@CON: Real Gross Fixed Capital Stock - Construction
| |
| GK@SV : Real Gross Fixed Capital Stock - Services
| |
And GK@MFG can be subdivided further as:
GK@FOOD: Real Gross Fixed Capital Stock - Food Manufacturing
| |
| GK@TOB : Real Gross Fixed Capital Stock - Tobacco Manufacturing
| |
| GK@TEXT: Real Gross Fixed Capital Stock - Textile Mill Products
| |
etc.
