Documentation on methodology

A detailed description of sources and methods is published in (Danish) the theme publication, Produktivitetsudviklingen i Danmark. 1966-2003. Since then part of the method has changed, see the Danish publication Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik nr. 430 from 2010. The 3rd of November 2010 the traditional productivity measurement was supplemented by the KLEMS-method, see the Danish publication Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik nr.485 from 2010.
