Growth RatesGDP growth Growth of GDP, percent changeEmployment growthGrowth of employment, percent changeLabor productivity growthGrowth of Labor Productivity per person employed, percent changeTFP growthGrowth of Total Factor Productivity - Estimated as a Tornqvist Index, log change

NotesRegional GDP, Labor Productivity and TFP growth rates are aggregated using shares in nominal PPP converted GDP. Regional Employment growth rates are aggregated using shares in total employment. The sum of regional Labor Productivity and Employment growth maynot add up to GDP growth because of the different weighting schemes used.All growth rates are calculated as the annual percentage changes, except for TFP, which are calculated as log differences.
