Reviving productivity growth: A review of policies

Christophe André and Peter Gal

No 1822, OECD Economics Department Working Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This review takes stock of the large body of evidence on aggregate productivity growth, its structural drivers, and the role of a wide range of policies. It aims to synthesise evidence on how public policies can promote productivity through their impacts on both the incentives and the capabilities of businesses and workers, taking account of different specificities of firms at the frontier and below, and integrating complementarities across policy areas. It also identifies gaps in knowledge, thus offering potential directions for future work.
