The paper describes the EU KLEMS & INTANProd database. This is the first cross-country productivity database including all intangible assets proposed by Corrado, Hulten and Sichel2 in a harmonized framework coherent with national accounts, thus representing a significant advancement for productivity analysis and policymaking. The database provides data for 27 European countries, United Kingdom, United States and Japan across 42 industries and 15 industry aggregates3 for 1995-2020.
