annual report - Ivie

Within this project, a database has been elaborated with information on productivity, value added, intermediate
consumption, labor, capital and growth accounting for these 30 countries. After its last update in May 2011,
information is provided for the period 1970-2007 for seventy-two sectors of activity (NACE Rev. 1.1). The series
allows the different economies to be compared in terms of industry, distinguishing between market versus nonmarket,
goods versus services and ICT production.
In 2012 a new data bank for 8 European countries ⎯ Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the
Netherlands, Spain and United Kingdom⎯ was constructed according to the NACE Rev. 2 classification.
Data on the EU KLEMS project is available on the Consortium’s website (http://www.euklems.net), which can be
accessed through the Ivie website.
8.11. OBSERVATORY OF FINANCIAL INTEGRATION IN EUROPE
The Observatory of Financial Integration in Europe was carried out by the Ivie and sponsored by the Fundación
de Estudios Financieros (Financial Studies Foundation). This data bank examines the recent evolution of
financial integration. In particular, the Action Plan for Financial Services, implemented in 1999, is evaluated as
well as its effects on competition, efficiency and economic growth.
The research consists of nearly 80 indicators and is divided in 7 thematic areas: 1) indicators of financial
development; 2) indicators of financial structure; 3) indicators of financial integration; 4) indicators of
competition; 5) indicators of efficiency and productivity; 6) indicators of payments and settlements; and 7)
impact of financial development and financial integration on economic growth. The period covered is 1999-
2010.
Both the fourth edition, updated in 2011, as well the previous year’s publication focused on analyzing the
impact of the crisis on financial integration, specially the effects on the Spanish financial system, and on
quantifying the impact of integration on economic growth.
The Observatory of Financial Integration in Europe is available on the Financial Studies Foundation website
(http://www.fef.es).
8.12. LIFE TABLES FOR SPAIN AND ITS REGIONS
Life tables are fundamental in providing a numerical representation of the status changes occurring within a
population over time. Ivie researcher Francisco J. Goerlich and Rafael Pinilla have calculated the classic
biometric functions of the Life Tables for Spain and its regions, covering the period 1975-2010. The data bank
also contains four demographic indicators for each year and geographic area: average age of population,
average-age life expectancy, life potential and life potential per capita.
The database contains period life tables with annual periods for Spain, its autonomous communities, and
provinces. It consists of 14 PC-Axis files which contain biometric functions and demographic indicators cited for
the same geographic areas and periods.
The data is available to researchers and the interested public via the Ivie website (http://www.ivie.es), with the
possibility of obtaining the information in map format.
8.13. ICT R&D MACRODATA
The Ivie has developed for the European Commission Joint Research Centre, the Institute for Prospective
Technological Studies (IPTS), a comprehensive data bank on R&D activities in the information and
communications technologies (ICT) sectors for the EU-27 countries, and also for Australia, Brazil, Canada,
China, India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and the United States. The information comes from official sources and is
disaggregated by sub-sectors (manufacturing and services).
