The original time series are published by the OECD. The
sample range is from the 1stQ 1980 until 4thQ 2000. The following
series have been utilised in the construction of the series provided
in Canada:
Main Economic Indicators:
Canadian unemployment rate in %
444113DSA
Canadian manufacturing real wage
444321KSA
Canadian consumer price index
445241K
Quarterly National Accounts:
Canadian nominal GDP
CAN1008S1
Labour Force Statistics:
Canadian civil employment in 1000 persons
445005DSA
The series in Canada are constructed as:
prod :=
100*(ln(CAN1008S1/445241K)-ln(445005DSA))
e :=
100*ln(445005DSA)
U :=
444113DSA
rw :=
100*ln(100*444321KSA)
Hence, prod is used as a measure of labour productivity;
e is used for employment; U is the unemployment rate and
rw assigns the real wage.
