Total Factor Productivity Level, 2011

2011, as GGDC’s 2025 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

Total factor productivity measures how much output an economy gets from its capital, its workers and their schooling, compared with the United States in the same year. A level of 0.5 means the country produces about half what the US would with the same inputs. It is the Penn World Table's best-known measure, and the standard way economists compare how efficiently countries use what they have.

Total Factor Productivity Level, 2011 covers 120 countries. Macau is highest, at 2.3743; Burundi is lowest, at 0.1783. The middle country reads 0.6668. Against 2010, 119 values changed (83 up, 36 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2025 release

    Every year in this series comes from GGDC’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2011.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 120 countries has every column.
