APO Data app for iPhone and iPad

The Asian Productivity Organization (APO) Mobile Productivity Database presents 95 economic indicators closely related to productivity in a format specially designed for smartphones. This app gives you easy access to comprehensive statistics data and information, showing trends in indicators for APO members as well as reference Asian and other economies. Most of the data in this mobile database were harmonized and compiled by a research project implemented by the Research and Planning Department of the APO under a research partnership with Keio Economic Observatory of Keio University, Tokyo, although some are from other reliable sources.

The APO Mobile Productivity Database is structured by 10 themes ranging from the main indicators of Productivity, Output, Labor, Capital, Demand, Income, Population, Prices, Energy, and Enterprises. When entering each indicator field, you are led to a table in time series. Charts illustrating data trends as well as a definition of the variable are included for each indicator.

You are also invited to visit the Measuring Productivity interface on the APO website (http://www.apo-tokyo.org/about/measurement.html), where data in Excel spreadsheet format are given for some indicators included in this Mobile Productivity Database. There is also a link to the PDF version of the APO Productivity Databook series containing further comprehensive analyses of productivity trends in the Asia-Pacific region compared with the global and regional economies.
