The STAN Indicators database provides analysts and researchers with a comprehensive tool for analysing industrial structure and performance in OECD countries and country groups. The indicators have been calculated with data from the OECD STAN database for Industrial Analysis (version of November 2005) and the Analytical Business Enterprise R&D database (ANBERD of June 2006); they complement the 2005 version of the Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard. This data set provides annual indicators, at a detailed level of activity, covering international trade, industrial composition, business enterprise R&D, employment and productivity and investment. It allows users to focus on areas such as productivity growth, competitiveness and general structural change. The industrial breakdown presented for STAN indicators Database is based upon the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) Revision 3. This list is compatible with STAN and ANBERD standard industry lists, and provides sufficient detail to enable users to highlight technology intensive sectors and make comparisons across countries.

Source Periodicity Source Periodicity Population & Scope Population & Scope Statistical population Statistical populationSTAN indicators are presented in different groups according to the following main themes:
- International trade
- Industrial composition
- Business enterprise research and development
- Employment and productivity
- Investment
The international trade indicators address the question of trade specialisation and performance in international markets. |
- Country groupings include intra-group trade; for example EU group does not exclude intra-EU trade; - Up to and including 1990, data for Germany refer to Western Germany (Federal Republic of Germany, incl. West Berlin); - As from 1991, data for Germany include eastern Germany. |
The industrial composition indicators attempt to reveal the importance of each industry in the economies of OECD countries. |
The research and development indicators highlight the efforts undertaken by the OECD countries in the field of business enterprise expenditures in R&D; these measures show the distribution of R&D expenditures within and across OECD countries, as well as R&D intensity. R&D data are extracted from the OECD database ANalytical Business Expenditure Research & Development (ANBERD).
The employment and productivity indicators address the issue of employment structure and compensation, labour costs and productivity.
The indicators on investment address the issue of the distribution of investment efforts by industry and the intensity of investment in value added.
Gross fixed capital formation data include residential investment for all countries unless otherwise stated.
For calculations' formula, see variables' notes directly from the STAN Indicators application.
Geographic coverage Geographic coverage Most of STAN indicators are provided for all OECD Member countries; however, for some countries, especially for Member countries that are new to the OECD and that have recently been included in the STAN database(*), the industry detail and / or time coverage can be weak for some indicators. Indicators are also calculated for selected country groups (zones) such as European Union, G7, NAFTA, OECD, etc. however time-series are not available for all country groups presented in this database.
Further notes on countries and country groups are available in the database's full documentation, as well as in STAN Indicators country notes.
(*). Inclusion of countries in STAN depends on: (a) the availability of long-time series of National Accounts by activity - often depending on the extent to which SNA93 has been implemented and/or (b) the availability of ISIC Rev.3 (NACE Rev.1) industrial survey/census data.
Sector coverage Sector coverageThe list of economic activities covered in STAN Indicators is available here.
