This manual defines concepts and puts forward guidelines for data collection for indicators measuring globalisation's extent and intensity.

Identifies the economic activities of member countries that are under foreign control, and their contribution to growth, employment, productivity, labour compensation, research and development, technology diffusion, and trade.

This second edition of the OECD Economic Globalisation Indicators presents a broad range of indicators on trade, foreign direct investment, the economic activity of multinational firms, and the internationalisation of technology.

Globalisation is a timely and controversial topic. Against the chorus of globalisation’s proponents and detractors, the authors propose an approach for measuring globalisation and its consequences. Undertaking a comprehensive review of the literature on globalisation and using data from the MGI and KOF indices, the well-respected authors build a framework for defining globalisation and analyzing the relationships among economic, political, and social variables.
