WORLD KLEMS

Productivity and Growth Accounting

The World KLEMS Consortium was launched by professor Dale Jorgenson of Harvard University, who has been one of the leading scholars in developing the growth accounting tradition. Over the years important research initiatives linked to World KLEMS were undertaken, including US KLEMS (now managed by the US Dept. of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis) EU KLEMS (including subsequent data rounds at the Groningen Growth and Development Centre, the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies, and LUISS in Rome), Asia KLEMS (including the Japan Industrial Productivity Database, the China Industrial Productivity Database, the Korea Industrial Productivity Database and India KLEMS) and LA KLEMS.

Every two years a WorldKLEMS conference is organised by the consortium. In addition, regional KLEMS communities also periodically organise their own conferences. Information on these events is posted on this website.
