About CIP (China Industrial Productivity Database) and Its Relation with the KLEMS Harry X. Wu IER, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo The 1st World KLEMS Conference, Harvard University, August 19-20, 2010
The CIP Plan • The current project is for the period 2010-12 • Objective: conceptually standard, consistent classification, and internationally compatible database for production function analysis of the Chinese economy at industry level
The CIP Plan… • Institutional set up of the CIP • IER/Hitotsubashi-RIETI • Asian KLEMS • TCB China Center • NBS-TCB joint program
The CIP Plan… • Features of the CIP database • Period to be covered: 1980-2010 • Industry classification: Based on CSIC2002, linked to CSIC1972, CSIC1985 and CSIC1994, reconcilable with the World KLEMS • Labor: numbers employed, adjusted for hours worked; adjusted for quality by the standard user cost approach; matching the adjusted input-output tables
The CIP Plan… • Capital: decomposed into production structures, residential structures and equipment; deflated by re-constructed industry specific deflators; adjusted for quality by the standard user costs approach; matching the adjusted input-output tables • Output: based on input-output tables, adjusted for inconsistency with industry-level input accounts; deflated by industry-specific output deflators
Links to my previous work featured by … • 39 (grouped to 24) industries of the industrial sector from 1949/52-2000/05, satisfying CSIC1994-CSIC2002 (Chart)
Links to my previous work… • Employment series, reconstructed and conceptually adjusted to international standards in numbers, hours, compensation, and quality (Table) (Chart), • … in parallel to a tidied version of NBS series on numbers employed
Links to my previous work… • Capital stock series, estimated with a novel approach in deriving flows, constructing initial stock, measuring prices and determining depreciation function
Links to my previous work… • Output series, reconstructed to tackle problems in levels, prices and inconsistencies, in parallel to a tidied version of NBS series (Chart 2)
Key problems to be solved in CIP • Extending my approach on industries to services, construction and agriculture • Establishing employment and capital accounts that match, and logically coherent with, the national accounts
Key problems to be solved in CIP… • Employment: serious inconsistency between annual statistics through the reporting system and population census (and its annual sample surveys) appeared in 1990, and further in 2002 onwards (Chart) • Capital: serious inconsistencies between fixed asset investment, fixed capital formation and actual increase in capital stock at industry level • Output: serious inconsistencies between industrial statistics and national accounts (sum up of part of enterprises is more than the national accounts in value added) (Chart)
