The Japan Industrial Productivity Database 2006 (JIP 2006) was compiled in a collaboration between RIETI as part of its "Study on Industry-Level and Firm-Level Productivity in Japan" research project and Hitotsubashi University as part of its Hi-Stat (21st-Century COE Program, "Research Unit for Statistical Analysis in the Social Sciences") project. The original version of the JIP Database (ESRI/Hi-Stat JIP Database 2003) was compiled through collaboration between the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), Cabinet Office, Government of Japan as part of its research project on "Japan's Potential Growth" and the Hitotsubashi University Hi-Stat project. The authors are grateful to ESRI for its support and cooperation on the JIP 2006 project.

The JIP 2006 contains annual data on 108 sectors from 1970-2002 that can be used for total factor productivity (TFP) analyses. These sectors cover the whole Japanese economy. The database includes detailed information on sectoral capital service input indices and labor service input indices, including information on real capital stocks and the nominal cost of capital by type of capital and by industry, annual nominal, and real input-output tables, as well as some supplementary tables, such as statistics on trade, inward and outward FDI, and Japan's industrial structure. All real values are based on 1995 prices.

For scholars familiar with the JIP 2003, there are some main similarities of and differences between the 2006 and 2003 versions of the JIP.

1. The JIP 2003 is based on the 1968 System of National Accounts (SNA), while the JIP 2006 is based on the 1993 SNA. The capital stock of the JIP 2006 includes order-made software, plant engineering, and assets accumulated by the search for minerals. The JIP 2003 uses SNA statistics as control totals. Following Japan's present SNA statistics, capital stock in the preliminary version of the JIP 2006 does not include prepackaged and in-house software. JIP 2006 includes two sets of statistics; one in which capital stock does not include prepackaged and in-house software (consistent with Japan's present SNA statistics) and one in which it does.

2. In the case of the JIP 2006, labor input data include detailed information on labor input cross-classified by categories of labor.

JIP 2006 was compiled by the following scholars.
