National Productivity by Country

The administrative burden an economy carries — the cost of identity/KYC, licences, credentials, invoicing/tax, and other paperwork — and the share addressable by digital trust infrastructure.

Lever ⑤ is a derived roll-up, not an independent pool. National productivity is the macro outcome of cheaper trade ①, recovered revenue ②③, and broader finance ④; it is not added on top of them. This table is the top-down cross-check — the bottom-up sum of ①–④ for a country should land in the same order of magnitude as the digital-addressable burden here. See the Assessment Methodology.

Canonical published output — generated from research/national-productivity/. Method: administrative burden by income / e-government maturity (OECD studies), with category and digital-savings breakdowns in research/.
