The comparative performance of UK manufacturing in perspective

J. Stuart Wabe

Intereconomics – Review of European Economic Policy (1966 - 1988), 1978, vol. 13, issue 11/12, 303-305

Abstract: The view that the productivity performance in UK manufacturing compares unfavourably with that in other European countries is ill-founded. The important conclusion from this analysis is that the fundamental problem in UK manufacturing has been the low level of investment. This would seem to provide the major part of the explanation for the „poor“ comparative performance of UK manufacturing when measured in terms of both labour productivity growth and output growth.
