OECD Handbook on Compiling Digital Supply and Use Tables
The digital economy is growing, with producers increasingly using digital technology
to revolutionise their production processes, and with new business models being created
based on the digital transformation. To improve the visibility of digitalisation in
macroeconomic statistics, the Digital Supply and Use Tables (SUTs) framework has been
developed under the auspices of the OECD’s Informal Advisory Group (IAG) on Measuring
GDP in a Digitalised Economy. In the Digital SUTs framework, three dimensions are
introduced for measuring the digital economy: the nature of the transaction (the “how”),
the goods and services produced (the “what”), and the new digital industries (the
“who”). The OECD Handbook on Compiling Digital SUTs explains these three dimensions
and includes examples. It also presents the high priority indicators that have been
agreed by the IAG and includes recommended templates for producing the outputs.
