The EUROPROD-UA database contains annual and quarterly series for Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth for five Euro Area countries. The series are adjusted for changes in factor utilization and for non-zero profits, as explained in the Handbook for Version 1.0 
(1 MB). Further details on the methodology can be found in Comin, Quintana, Schmitz and Trigari (2025)
