OECD's New STructural ANalysis (STAN) database

The STAN database for industrial analysis provides analysts and researchers with a comprehensive tool for analysing industrial performance at a relatively detailed level of activity across countries.

It includes annual measures of output, labour input, investment and international trade which allow users to construct a wide range of indicators to focus on areas such as productivity growth, competitiveness and general structural change.

Through the use of a standard industry list, comparisons can be made across countries.

The industry list provides sufficient detail to enable users to highlight high-technology sectors and is compatible with those used in related OECD databases.
