Regional GDP and main aggregates by industry and Länder (NUTS 2)
- Gross regional product and gross value added at basic prices, current prices, in absolute terms
- Gross regional product per inhabitant, current prices
- Total hours worked
Regional Accounts calculate gross regional product (GRP, regional GDP) for the Länder (federal provinces) as well as the following monetary aggregates by industry: gross value added at basic prices, compensation of employees and gross fixed capital formation. These calculations are done at current prices. Additionally, data for employment (number of jobs, total and employees) and total hours worked are provided. The regional accounts calculations are based on the revised statistical classification of economic activities (ÖNACE 2008).
Gross regional product and gross value added at basic prices, current prices, in absolute terms
In the wake of the global economic crisis, the Länder
recorded nominal falls in the gross regional product (GRP) between
The latest calculations by Statistics Austria show that Vienna maintained its leading position in 2009 with a 26.2% share of GDP, while Upper Austria and Lower Austria contributed 16.8% and 15.8% of GDP respectively. As in recent years, Burgenland (2.3%) and Vorarlberg (4.6%) had the lowest share of GDP.
The results of regional accounts data are consistent with the annual national accounts main aggregates published in September 2011.
Gross regional product per inhabitant, current prices
Gross regional product per inhabitant enables economic power to be compared across the Länder. With €42 600 per inhabitant, Vienna was once again clearly above the average in 2009, followed by Salzburg (€37 500) and Vorarlberg (€34 700). The figure for Tyrol (€34 600) was also significant above the Austrian average of €32 900. Upper Austria (€32 800) was in the national average as were Styria, Carinthia and Lower Austria, which, with figures between €28 500 and €27 000, were all relatively far behind. Burgenland continued to be bottom of the table with €22 200.
However, it should be borne in mind that GRP relates to the place of performance (place of work), whereas the inhabitant figures seen in relation to GRP relate to the place of residence, i.e. transregional commuter movements are not taken into account. Burgenland and parts of Lower Austria, for example, are traditional commuter regions.
Total hours worked
According to the ESA 1995 total hours worked represent the aggregate number of hours actually worked as an employee or self-employed. Additionally, as a sub-item, total hours worked by employees are published.
In absolute terms, Vienna was the Land (federal province) with most hours worked (roundly 1.5 bn) in 2009, followed by Upper and Lower Austria (roundly 1.2 and 1.1 bn hours respectively) plus Styria (roundly 1.0 bn). These four Länder covered more than 70% of total hours worked in Austria.
