At the Research Center for Information and Statistics of Social Science of the Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University, we are promoting the preparation and expansion of data archives with a focus on improving the usage environment for government statistical micro data in the "Program for Constructing Data Infrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences."
As part of this, we will support application procedures for using micro data from Cambodian government statistics and provide a place to use the micro data (Kunitachi Campus Joint-Research Laboratory 1).

As a sub-project of the Research Center for Economic and Social Risk s and the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research project Service Sector Productivity in Japan: Determinants and Policies (SSPJ), the Asian Historical Statistics (ASHSTAT) Project estimates long-term economic statistics for Asia from the pre-World War II years to today, based on the System of National Accounts (SNA). For an overview of this project, see the Asian Historical Statistics publication plan.

Estimates of Long-term Economic Statistics of Japan Since 1868 (Kazushi Ohkawa, Miyohei Shinohara, and Mataji Umemura, eds., Toyo Keizai, 1965-1988) is a series of books that combines systemically historical statistics on the economy of modern Japan through means including estimation and processing across various fields of economic activity. These books provide time-series economic statistics since 1868 in accordance with national economics tabulation methods. This Historical Economic Statistics Database includes these long-term economic statistics as important economic statistics.

This database of long-term historical statistics on per-capita GDP and population in countries around the world was established at the Groningen Growth and Development Centre (GGDC) of the University of Groningen to continue the database of the late Prof. Angus Maddison of the University of Groningen. The Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University participates in this project as East Asia representative, providing data on Japan, Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula, and elsewhere.

The Japan Industrial Productivity Database 2018 ( JIP Database 2018) is the latest version of the JIP Database compiled in a collaborative effort between RIETI under its East Asian Industrial Productivity Project within the Raising Industrial Firm Productivity Program and Hitotsubashi University with the support of the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (S) project on "Service Sector Productivity in Japan" and the JSPS program "Constructing Data Infrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences."
The JIP Database 2018 comprises, for the period from 1994 to 2015, various types of annual data necessary for estimating total factor productivity (TFP) in 100 industries covering Japan's economy as a whole, including capital service input indices and capital costs, quality-adjusted labor service input indices and labor costs, nominal and real output and intermediate inputs, as well as growth accounting results, including estimates of TFP growth rates.

The Regional-Level Japan Industrial Productivity (R-JIP) Database compiles value-added output in current and constant prices, quality-adjusted labor input, and quality-adjusted capital input for all 23 industrial sectors of the 47 prefectures. These data are constructed to add up to the control total of corresponding data in the national-level JIP database. Using these data, we calculate both the differences in TFP levels across prefectures for each industry and the rate of change in TFP for each industry of each prefecture. In the R -JIP 2017, these data are available for every year from 1970 to 2012.
In order to simplify the task of compiling regional-level data, we compress the number of industrial sectors from over 100 in the national-level JIP to 23 in the R -JIP. For the compilation of output, only value-added output is available in the R -JIP compared to both gross output and intermediate inputs in the JIP. Despite this "data squeeze," our R-JIP database is unique in that it provides a regional-level dataset which enables productivity comparisons across prefectures and takes differences in input quality into account.

The China Industrial Productivity (CIP) Database has been revised and updated since its initial publication in 2011 as a result of joint research by the Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University and the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry's Industrial/Corporate Productivity Improvement Program. The latest version, the CIP3.0 database, consists of time-series input-output tables (nominal and real), investment and capital stock, and indices of capital inputs and labor inputs, for 37 sectors over the period 1980-2010.

This database was prepared by an international-cooperation project aiming to achieve a database to enable accurate measurement of industrial structures, and total-factor productivity at an industry level, in countries around the world. In cooperation with the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry's Industrial/Corporate Productivity Project, the Research Center for Economic and Social Risks of the Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University provides data on Japan (the JIP Database) and China (the CIP Database).

This database created by a project begun with the support of the European Commission is intended to enable international comparison of trends and levels in total-factor productivity at an industrial level. While centered on EU member states, research institutes in the United States and Japan also participate. In cooperation with the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry's Industrial/Corporate Productivity Project, the Research Center for Economic and Social Risk s of the Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University provides data on Japan (the JIP Database) to the EU KLEMS Project, re-tabulated for EU KLEMS use.

This is a panel study of middle-aged persons 50 years of age and older, conducted since 2007 through cooperation among the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry, Hitotsubashi University, and the University of Tokyo (which has participated since the second session). It not only contains a diverse range of information concerning middle aged people's economic, social, and health aspects but also has been designed to maintain the maximum degree of comparability with studies already conducted in developed economies, such as the Health and Retirement Study (HRS, USA), the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE, continental Europe), and the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA, Britain). These data may be analyzed to investigate the individuality and universality of senior citizens in Japan. In this sense, JSTAR can be described as Japan's first global-standard panel-data study.
