What we measure
A few terms used on this page.
Value added and GDP
Value added is what an industry adds to the economy: its revenue minus what it buys from others. GDP is the total across industries plus taxes on products (mainly VAT and excise duties) minus subsidies. It counts only what is produced in the country, which is why imports are left out.
Real estate
In Greece 70% of the industry's value added is imputed rent, the value calculated for homes lived in by their owners. It has no workers behind it, which is why the industry is left out of the output-per-worker comparisons.
Trade, transport, tourism
One statistical industry: retail and wholesale trade, transport, accommodation and food service.
Exports
What the country sells abroad: goods and services. Tourism counts as an export, because foreign visitors bring money from abroad. Transport is mainly shipping.
Output per person and per hour
Value added divided by the number of people in work (employees and self-employed) or by the hours they worked. The second measure takes into account that hours of work differ from country to country.
