No 2025_15, Working Papers, Department of Economics from University of São Paulo (FEA-USP)

Abstract: Recent papers have documented a reduction in research productivity over time. We estimate the relationship between research productivity and economic growth using a panel of OECD economies between 1981 and 2019. For countries in the G7, we find a strong correlation between these two variables. The effect is both statistically significant and quantitatively relevant.
