商品簡介
This two-volume reference from United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs provides investors, policymakers and UN officials with statistics on a full set of industrial commodities using the new List of Industrial Products that was developed in 2005. Written in both English and French, this 2005 yearbook is split into separate volumes for physical quantity data and monetary value data. Volume I lists each commodity by category (mining and quarrying, electricity and gas and manufacturing) and breaks down data from member countries over a ten-year history. Volume II uses the same format to provide total value using $1 million U.S. dollars as a universal unit of measurement. Each volume includes notes on the sources of this data and the specific circumstances regarding the exclusion of certain member countries (confidentiality restrictions, differing use of product definitions or lack of standardized information collection).
