| Description | The 17th edition of the APO Productivity Databook offers in-depth analyses of economic growth and productivity in Asia from 1970 to 2022, with projections extending to 2035. It covers baseline indicators for 31 Asian economies, including 21 APO members, 10 nonmembers, and reference economies such as Australia, the EU, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA. A detailed productivity account in the APO Productivity Database (APO-PDB) is developed for 21 APO members, four nonmember Asian countries, and the USA, with detailed insights on the roles of capital and labor inputs and total factor productivity in economic growth. The Asia25 economies covered by the APO-PDB accounted for 91% of Asian GDP (in PPP terms) in 2022. Authored by Dr. Koji Nomura (Keio University) and Dr. Mun S. Ho (Harvard University) under the consultancy of Professor W. Erwin Diewert (University of British Columbia), this edition incorporates the latest estimates published through May 2024. Several economies have made significant revisions to their official national accounts, while Bhutan, Saudi Arabia, and the USA published new benchmark-year national accounts in 2023. Using extensive auxiliary information, this edition constructs harmonized retrospective estimates dating back to 1970. The APO Productivity Databook serves as an essential resource for policymakers and researchers, offering harmonized international comparisons over more than half a century to support informed decision-making. |
