Variables in this dataset:

Environmentally adjusted multifactor productivity growth

QoG Code: oecd_eampg

EAMFP measures a country's ability to generate income from a given set of inputs, while accounting for the consumption of natural resources and production of undesirable environmental by-products. It corresponds to the share of pollution-adjusted output growth that is not explained by changes in the use of inputs (residual growth). EAMFP growth therefore measures the residual growth in the joint production of both the desirable and the undesirable outputs that cannot be explained by changes in the consumption of factor inputs (including labour, produced capital, and natural capital). Therefore, for a given growth of input use, EAMFP increases when GDP increases or when pollution decreases.

Pollution-adjusted GDP growth

QoG Code: oecd_polagdpg

Pollution-adjusted GDP growth measures to what extent a country's GDP growth should be corrected for pollution abatement efforts - adding what has been undervalued due to resources being diverted to pollution abatement, or deducing the "excess" growth which is generated at the expense of environmental quality.
