Acknowledgments: The authors thank Colin Webb (OECD) for his advice on the use of the OECD STAN database, which has been an important input for the databases used for this study. We also received data series and advice on their use from employees at various national statistical offices, in particular Statistics Denmark, the Federal Statistical Office in Germany, Statistics Finland, the Central Statistics Office in Ireland, Statistics Netherlands, the Office for National Statistics, UK, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, US, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, US. The data series underlying the growth accounting estimates draws partly from earlier work supported by the UK HM-Treasury ‘Evidence Based Policy Fund’ (with contributions from the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department for Education and Skills), the European Commission’s Directorate General for Economic and Financial Affairs, and by the European Commission’s Fifth Research Framework Programme project ‘Employment Prospects in the Knowledge Economy’. We also received useful advice from Lourens Broersma (Netherlands), Harald Edquist (Sweden), Martin Falk (Austria), Lawrence Nayman and Johanna Melka (France), and Nicholas Oulton and Sylaja Srinivasan (UK). Finally we would like to thank Tassos Belessiotis and Jesus Maria Irigoyen from the European Commission’s Enterprise Directorate-General for comments throughout the research and for careful reading of the final draft. The editors of this study and the authors of the individual chapters are solely responsible for the results provided in this study.
