Data

Before using the data, please consider the following:

  • Create an account with The Conference Board, if not already done so.
  • Check the latest revision notes and make use of the sources & methods documentation in case there are any questions.
  • Note that data for 2024 are estimates, while 2025 data are forecasts from The Conference Board.
  • If you have any further questions, comments or see any errors, please contact TED@tcb.org.

The data can be downloaded through The Conference Board Data Central. On Data Central the Total Economy Database is presented in two sections: 1) Output, Labor and Labor Productivity (updated May 2025), and 2) Growth Accounting and Total Factor Productivity (updated Sept 2025).

The Output, Labor and Labor Productivity dataset contains time series data on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Population, Employment, Total Hours Worked, Per Capita Income and Labor Productivity (measured as GDP per Person Employed and GDP per Hour Worked).

The Growth Accounting and Total Factor Productivity dataset contains time series data on the contributions of factor inputs - labor (Labor Quantity and Labor Quality), capital (Non-ICT Capital Services and ICT Capital Services) and Total Factor Productivity Growth (TFPG) - to GDP growth, obtained using a growth accounting method. The file also contains data on the Share of Labor Compensation in GDP which is used to assign weights to the factor inputs in deriving their contributions to GDP growth.

About

The Total Economy Database, (TED) is a comprehensive database with annual data covering GDP, population, employment, hours, labor quality, capital services, labor productivity, and Total Factor Productivity for 131 countries in the world.

United States data are presented in two series, 'United States' and 'United States (Adjusted)'. The first is based on official government data, while the adjusted series refers to our alternative GDP series for the US which are revised upward as they are based on alternative price deflators for ICT investment goods and services. The adjustment factors were revised and updated in August 2021.

Chinese data is presented in two series, 'China' and 'China (Alternative)'. The first is based on official government data, while 'China (Alternative)' represents alternative growth numbers, based on the work of Prof. Harry X. Wu, Hitotsubashi University. The data were last updated and revised in April 2022.

TED was developed by the Groningen Growth and Development Centre (University of Groningen, The Netherlands) in the early 1990s, and starting in the late 1990s, it was produced in partnership with The Conference Board. As of 2007, the database was transferred from the University of Groningen to The Conference Board, which has maintained and extended the database since then. In January 2010, the database was extended with a module on sources of growth, including labor quantity and quality, capital services (non-ICT and ICT), and Total Factor Productivity. The extended module aims to integrate two previous data sets: the world economy productivity data set created by Dale Jorgenson and Khuong Vu of Harvard University and the Total Economy Growth Accounting Database of the Groningen Growth and Development Centre.
