Documentation on methodology

A detailed description of sources and methods is published in (Danish) the theme publication, Produktivitetsudviklingen i Danmark. 1966-2003. Since then part of the method has changed, see the Danish publication Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik nr. 430 from 2010. The 3rd of November 2010 the traditional productivity measurement was supplemented by the KLEMS-method, see the Danish publication Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik nr.485 from 2010.

For a theoretical background and methods for deriving growth of productivity: "Growth of U.S. Industries and Investments in Information Technology and Higher Education", Jorgenson, D.W., Ho, M.S. and Stiroh, K. J. 2002 and "Measurement of aggregate and industry-level productivity growth", OECD 2001. The latter can be downloaded from OECD's homepage: http://www.oecd.org
