Production refers to the activities of creating new output of goods and services by using labor, capital, goods and services input under the control and organization of institutional units.

 

II. Accounting Classification

 

The accounting classification of patent intensive industries is based on the Statistical Classification of Intellectual Property (Patent) Intensive Industries (2019), and adopts two-level classification. According to the nature of economic activities, the first level classification is divided into seven categories: information and communication technology manufacturing industry, information and communication technology service industry, new equipment manufacturing industry, new material manufacturing industry, medicine and medical industry, environmental protection industry, R&D, design and technology service industry. On the basis of the first level classification, the second level classification is subdivided into 188 categories of national economic industries.

 

III. Accounting Method and Data Source

 

The value-added of patent intensive industries shall be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Methods for the Value-added of Patent Intensive Industries formulated by the NBS. The basic data needed for accounting mainly come from the data of national economic census, relevant professional statistics and national economic accounting of the NBS.
