Dataset
<p>This dataset provides economic indicators aggregated at national level and broken down by territorial typology according to the population's access to cities.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Data source and definition</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The indicators include GDP, GDP per capita, gross value added, employment at place of work and labour productivity by type of territory. Data is collected from Eurostat (reg_eco10) for EU countries and via delegates of the OECD Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI), as well as from national statistical offices' websites.</p> <p>The indicators are aggregated data at the national level, using the typology of small (TL3) regions to calculate totals or averages for all metropolitan large regions, metropolitan midsize regions, near a midsize/large FUA regions, near a small FUA regions and remote regions.</p> <p><strong> Territorial typology on the population's access to cities</strong></p> <p>Territorial typologies helps to assess differences in socio-economic trends in regions, both within and across countries and to highlight the specific issues faced by each type of region. </p> <p>The OECD territorial typology on access to cities uses the concept of functional urban areas (FUA) – composed of urban centres and their commuting areas – and classifies small (TL3) regions (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1787/b902cc00-en">Fadic et al., 2019</a>) according to the following criteria:</p> <ul> <li>Metropolitan regions, if more than half of the population live in a FUA. Metropolitan regions are further classified into: <em><strong>metropolitan large</strong></em>, if more than half of the population live in a (large) FUA of at least 1.5 million inhabitants; and <em><strong>metropolitan midsize</strong></em>, if more than half of the population live in a (midsize) FUA of at 250 000 to 1.5 million inhabitants.</li> <li>Non-metropolitan regions, if less than half of the population live in a midsize/large FUA. These regions are further classified according to their level of access to FUAs of different sizes: <em><strong>near a midsize/large FUA</strong></em> if more than half of the population live within a 60-minute drive from a midsize/large FUA (of more than 250 000 inhabitants) or if the TL3 region contains more than 80% of the area of a midsize/large FUA; <em><strong>near a small FUA</strong></em> if the region does not have access to a midsize/large FUA and at least half of its population have access to a small FUA (i.e. between 50 000 and 250 000 inhabitants) within a 60-minute drive, or contains 80% of the area of a small FUA; and <em><strong>remote</strong></em>, otherwise.</li> </ul> <p>List of OECD regions and typologies are presented in the OECD Territorial correspondence table <a href="https://webfs-cfe.oecd.org/files/.Stat/region/OECD%20Territorial%20correspondence%20-%20TL2024c.xlsx">(xlsx)</a>.
