LA-KLEMS: Economic Growth and Productivity in Latin America
The project “LA-KLEMS: Economic Growth and Productivity in Latin America” was approved on October 2016 by the Regional Public Goods Program (RPG). Its objective is strengthening capacities in national statistics institutes and central banks to produce better production statistics with the KLEMS methodology for decision-making on economic policies in the countries. Specifically, it seeks to generate statistics on a sustainable basis and build a homogenous, comparable, and standardized database of information on output, employment, human and physical capital, and productivity in nine productive sectors in the participating countries, covering the period 1990-2015.
