Title
UNIDO Industrial Statistics Database, ISIC Rev.3- 2 digit level "INDSTAT2", 170 countries, 1963-2014
Abstract
UNIDO maintains a variety of databases comprising statistics of overall industrial growth, detailed data on business structure and statistics on major indicators of industrial performance by country in the historical time series. Among which is the UNIDO Industrial Statistics Database at the 2-digit level of ISIC (INDSTAT2).
INDSTAT2 is the largest industrial statistics database of its kind. Unlike others presented by different classification standards for different time periods, INDSTAT2 provides data by a single classification standard for more than 40 years, which makes it particularly valuable for long-term structural analysis. It contains time series data on the manufacturing sector for the period 1963 onwards. As with INDSTAT4, INDSTAT2 presents data for seven principle indicators (number of establishments, employment, wages and salaries, output, value added, gross fixed capital formation and number of female employees). The value figures are presented in current prices, in both National Currency and US Dollars. The database includes the index numbers of industrial production, which show the real growth of the volume of production by 2-digit of ISIC Rev. 3. The data are arranged at the 2-digit level of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) Revision 3 pertaining to the manufacturing sector, which comprises 23 industries.
The time series can either be used to compare a certain branch or sector of countries or – if present in the data set – some sectors of one country.
