Material productivity by country, 2000 vs 2008/2009

Methodology

The methodology for the calculation of DMI / DMC was revised by Eurostat in 2007. For Fig. 4, the data are calculated after the revised methodology. Therefore, the data set compromises the consistency in order to provide an extended temporal coverage. For non-EU countries, we used the MFA data compiled by the Wuppertal Institute on behalf of OECD (not published yet).
