International Benchmarking Database
The International Benchmarking Database is the core of the International Benchmarking Programme of BAKBASEL. Since the beginning of this project in the mid-90s, the database has been regularly updated, geographically extended and new indicators have been implemented. Today, it includes indicators for economic performance and location factors of sectors and regions in Europe and the USA. In terms of both regional industry-specific differentiation and data recentness, the IBD is unmatched.
Available indicators
The standard data set of the International Benchmarking Database includes data organized by region and time period (annual updates since 1980) of the following indicators: general data (size and population), performance data, and location factors.

Regionalization of the database
The International Benchmarking Database provides detailed information from different time periods for a manifold set of regions, sub regions and regional aggregates. The concept of the regional breakdown is based on the one hand on the idea of comparability of the IBD to national and international sources so international regional concepts are applied. On the other hand, the idea of Functional Urban Regions (FUR) is more helpful when it comes to analysing regions in an international context. This enables using the data to build comparable metropolitan areas and to present FURs.

Key industries
To get a clear picture of the economic structure of a region, it is sometimes necessary to group the various individual industries into larger sectors. Therefore, the industries in the International Benchmarking Database are divided as follows:
  • New Economy Sector
  • Old Economy Sector
  • Traditional Sector
  • Political Sector
  • Urban Sector
