About this Dataset

Economic Statistics - Regions (for 'Developer API')

This dataset provides regional economic accounts indicators for large (TL2) and small (TL3) regions, including gross domestic product (GDP) and GDP per capita; gross value added, employment and labour productivity by main economic activity; and income measures.

This dataset is recommended for users who wish to query a large amount of data. It is not designed for visualising results using the Table and Chart buttons. To access the 'Developer API query builder', click on the 'Developer API' button above. To get started see the API documentation.

Data source and definition

Regional economic accounts data are collected from Eurostat for EU countries and from the OECD Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI) delegates or national statistical offices for other countries. To ensure comparability across time and countries, current-price data are converted into constant prices and PPPs. National deflators are used in this dataflow, constant prices measures based on regional deflators are available in the ROPI dataflows. See the Regional data sources.

Definition of regions

Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). See the OECD Territorial grid.

Use of economic data on small regions

TL3 regions are grouped into typologies based on shared characteristics. For economic analysis, TL3 regions belonging to the same Functional Urban Area (FUA) with more than 250,000 inhabitants are aggregated into a single metropolitan region to reduce distortions from commuting. See the OECD Territorial Correspondence Table.
