Sulla produttività in generale e sulla produttività in Italia

Abstract: Slow or non-existent productivity growth is a central issue for both economists and policymakers. Public policies aimed at boosting productivity growth have produced scant results, and productivity growth has been highest where these policies were not implemented. The paper argues that the analysis of the low productivity growth conundrum follows inadequate paths because as yet unsolved theoretical and measurement issues are not given enough attention. A fuller account of these issues implies rejecting the widespread narrative that attributes to labour the main responsibility for low productivity growth, and rather points to other aspects of the working of the economy and of social behaviours.
