General Province Data: data used in the factor analyses reported in Chapter II of The Matrix of Policy in the Philippines.

Province Manufacturing Data: data by province (49) from various rounds of the survey of manufacturers. In this case, the sample universe is ''large establishments'' as defined for survey purposes. There are 11 variables measuring aspects of major businesses in 1956, 1958-60, and 1962. d. Province Economic Data: measures attributes of various industries. In most cases detail is given for provinces, where disclosure considerations prevented such detail, regions are the geographical unit. e.
