The Japan Industrial Productivity Database 2011 (JIP Database 2011) is an extended version of the JIP Database 2010 that was compiled in a collaborative effort between RIETI and Hitotsubashi University's Global COE Hi-Stat Program. It was developed under RIETI's East Asian Industrial Productivity project within the Raising Industrial and Firm Productivity program and Hitotsubashi University's research project titled "Research Unit for Statistical and Empirical Analysis in Social Sciences."

JIP 2011 comprises various types of annual data sets that are necessary for the estimation of sectoral total factor productivity (TFP) in the 108 industries, covering Japan's economy as a whole from 1970-2008. These data sets include annual data on sectoral capital service input indices and capital costs, labor service input indices by attribute and labor costs. They also include nominal and real production intermediate inputs and the results of growth accounting, which include the calculation of the rates of increase in TFP.

Similarly with JIP 2010 (released on December 24, 2010), the basic estimation method and the 108 selected industries, covering Japan's economy as a whole, both remain unchanged. We plan to review the estimation method and the number of selected industries when we release JIP 2012 in the fall of 2012; its estimation will be based on the 2005 Benchmark Revision of National Accounts.

Since the onset of the global recession triggered by the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, the Japanese economy has encountered many challenges. JIP 2011 covers the first few months of this drastic transitional period. We hope that JIP 2011 contributes to research on changes in production structure, factor inputs and productivity during this period.

The supplementary tables that include statistics on trade, inward and outward FDI, market concentration ratios, and R&D stocks will be updated in a series and released in the near future.

JIP 2011 was compiled by the following scholars.

The original version of the JIP Database—ESRI/Hi-Stat JIP Database 2003—was compiled in a collaboration between the Cabinet Office's Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), as part of its "Japan's Potential Growth" research project, and Hitotsubashi University, as part of its Hi-Stat project. The database developers are grateful to ESRI for the support and cooperation it provided on the JIP Database 2011 project.

The key characteristics of the JIP 2011 include the following:

• Both the database itself and its underlying base data are defined as public property and thus, in principle, will be made available to the general public;
• The data contained in the JIP 2011 are consistent with the 1993 System of National Accounts (93SNA), and the national economic accounts are used as a control total; and
• JIP 2011 will participate in the EU's World Input-Output Database (WIOD) project, successor to the EU KLEMS project. The EU KLEMS project has been estimating TFP by industry for the EU major member states, the U.S., South Korea, and others, thereby enabling an international comparison of productivity levels in absolute terms, including those for Japan. The WIOD project's results on the international comparison of productivity are scheduled to be released in March 2012.
