Wealth of the Nation: Scotland's Productivity Challenge - Technical Appendix

Mark Mitchell and Robert Zymek

Edinburgh School of Economics Discussion Paper Series from Edinburgh School of Economics, University of Edinburgh

Abstract: This note provides technical background information on some contents of the report Wealth of the Nation: Scotland's Productivity Challenge (Kelly et al.,2018). The report shows that Scotland's productivity performance is only middling in the OECD: Scotland would need to close a productivity gap of 20% to reach the top quartile of most productive OECD countries. It also illustrates that this gap can be attributed to a relatively low capital stock and low Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in equal measure. In this note, we make transparent the data and assumptions underlying these calculations.
