PREDICT 2016 Country Factsheets:

EU Member States – Purchasing Power Standard

Foreword

PREDICT: Prospective Insights on R&D in ICT

PREDICT produces statistics and analyses on ICT industries and their R&D in Europe since 2006. The project covers major world competitors including 40 advanced and emerging countries – the EU28 plus Norway, Russia and Switzerland in Europe, Canada, the United States and Brazil in the Americas, China, India, Japan, Korea and Taiwan in Asia, and Australia – as well as a growing array of indicators related to the ICT content of economic activities.

Rationale

ICTs determine competitive power in the knowledge economy. The ICT sector alone originates almost one fourth of total Business expenditure in R&D (BERD) for the aggregate of the 40 economies under scrutiny in the project. It also has a huge enabling role for innovation in other technological domains, let aside the impact of ICT uptake in the organisation of businesses. This is reflected at the EU policy level, where the Digital Agenda for Europe in 2010 was identified as one of the seven pillars of the Europe 2020 Strategy for growth in the Union and the achievement of a Digital Single Market (DSM) is one of the 10 political priorities set by the Commission since 2015.

Statistics and indicators

PREDICT provides indicators in a wide variety of topics, including value added, employment, labour productivity and BERD, distinguishing fine grain economic activities in ICT and media and content industries (up to 22 individual activities, 14 of which at the class level, i.e. at 4 digits in the ISIC classification) and at a higher level of aggregation for all the other industries in the economy. It also produces data on Government financing of R&D in ICTs, and total R&D expenditure at the country level. Now-casting of more relevant data in these domains is also being performed..

Team

PREDICT is a collaboration between the JRC and the European Commission Communications Networks, Content and Technology (CNECT) Directorate General. Since 2013 data collection and analysis has been carried out jointly by JRC and the Valencian Institute of Economic Research (Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas - Ivie).

Abstract

The PREDICT 2016 Country Factsheets present essential statistical data regarding the performance of the EU ICT sector. These Factsheets are the subject of three reports. This report on ‘Purchasing Power Standard’ and the second report on ‘Data in Current Prices’ present sets of Factsheets with data on each EU Member State, in comparison to the EU average. The third report presents Factsheets on the EU and 12 non-EU countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Korea, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, Taiwan and the United States.

Reading Notes

The figures at the top of each Factsheet display the information presented in the statistical tables. The left-hand figure gives a snapshot of country performance in ICT specialisation (VA/GDP), ICT productivity and ICT R&D as compared to the EU (EU absolute values listed below = Index 100). The right-hand figure gives a dynamic image (evolution 2006-2013) of the country ICT VA and GDP, and also ICT BERD and Total BERD. In this figure, ICT data is also presented by subsector.

Together these 2 figures allow us to assess very rapidly:

• the ICT sector’s profile in each country in Europe (2013) as regards value added, productivity, R&D intensity.

• the evolution of the ICT sector since 2006: i.e. whether the sector as a whole and also its subsectors have emerged or declined in terms of value added and R&D expenditures, as compared to the overall dynamics of each country’s economy.

The statistical tables provide the full data on which these figures are based. They are divided into two main blocks:

• the first shows Economic and Industry Trends: Gross Value Added (GVA), Employment and Productivity.

• the second concentrates on R&D performance showing R&D expenditures in terms of both the actual spending and R&D intensity, calculated as the ratio of R&D spending to GVA.

Additionally, the horizontal reading of the tables conveys three further items of information:

• The time coverage (2006-2013) allows us to assess the progress of the variables during the pre and post-crisis years.

• The column headed ‘2013 vs EU-%shares’ displays the relative performance of each variable (expressed as a proportion) as compared to the EU.

• The double column headed ‘2013 vs 2006 (=100)’ offers indices comparing the 2013 performance of each variable with its initial level in 2006 (Index: 100) for each Member State and the EU.

Methodological Notes

The Factsheets are based on the latest available official data from EUROSTAT. Data sources and methods are fully described in the metadata of PREDICT 2016.

This report presents Purchasing Power Standard (PPS) data. The PPS is an artificial currency unit. Theoretically, one PPS can buy the same amount of goods and services in each country. PPS are derived by dividing any economic aggregate of a country in national currency by its respective purchasing power parities. PPS is the technical term used by Eurostat for the common currency in which national accounts aggregates are expressed when adjusted for price level differences. (See EUROSTAT – Glossary: Purchasing Power Standard (PPS)). The equivalent data in current prices are available in the second report referred to above, (here).

The ICT sector is classified in four sub-categories to facilitate the reading: ICT manufacturing (NACE 261-264, 268), telecommunications (NACE 61), computer services (5820, 62, 631, 951) and ICT wholesale trade (465). The classification method follows OECD (2007).
