Industrial Statistics Database
(United Nations Industrial Development Organization -
UNIDO)
The
database contains seven principle indicators of industrial statistics: number of establishments, number of employees,
wages and salaries, output, value added, gross fixed capital formation, and number of female employees. The INDSTAT4
database contains time series data from 1990 onwards. Data are available for country, year and ISIC at the 3- and 4-digit
levels of ISIC (Revision 3), which comprises 151 manufacturing sectors and sub-sectors.

World Productivity Database
(United Nations Industrial Development Organization - UNIDO)
This
website lets you download indicators of productivity performance. Although it is primarily a website devoted to measures
of total factor productivity (TFP), partial productivity measures are also available or can be derived from the existing
data. You can download levels and growth rates, as well as ten-year forecasts of TFP for as many as 112 countries, from
1960 to 2000.
