04Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

One year of the 2026 release
Every year in this series comes from OECD’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2018.
132 distinct values among 137
Values are stored exactly as published, to 19 decimals. 6 countries share 0.00000. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Which end is better
Neither end is better. The values describe a shape, not a score.
121 empty cells
An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
Some readings carry a flag
OECD marks readings it considers estimates or provisional. The flags in this file: Low reliability, Estimated value.

What this site changed: Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

Licence: OECD Terms and Conditions — data clause. The OECD’s own terms for its data: reuse, including commercial reuse, with the OECD credited as the source.
