Comparability — General
PRODUCT is currently only available in the Norway datasets and Iceland 1801.
For Iceland 1801, there are only four broad categories in this sample. There are not as many detailed categories as found in the Norwegian datasets.
Users should note that we have created several additional codes, because of the limitations of using late twentieth century classifications with late nineteenth century data. These additional codes are
| Code | Description |
| 210 | General food retailing (grocery) |
| 500 | General dealer |
| 510 | General merchant |
| 520 | Commission merchant |
| 530 | Second hand dealer |
| 540 | Dry goods |
| 550 | Provision merchant |
| 600 | Other |
Notwithstanding that we had to create additional codes, the nineteenth century data was readily coded into this classification system. The consistent interpretive challenge was to reconcile the greater generality of retail and wholesale trade descriptions with the more specific codes that the UN Central Product Classification (CPC) has for economic activity.
Further information about the CPC is available at the UN Statistics Division website. Note that we have not classified service workers into the CPC, and have no plans to do so, as the structure of the service sector in the late nineteenth century was not as diverse as it is now. Users may readily infer services from occupational titles, particularly workers with an OCCHISCO code in major groups 0-5 inclusive.
