The slowdown in labour productivity growth since the onset of the economic downturn in 2008 is one of the most striking features of the global economy. This workshop draws together three important, recent contributions to this literature, which use new data sources that have considerable advantages over traditional data collections. We will consider changes in business dynamics in the US, the effect of market concentration and digitalisation transmission mechanisms on productivity growth and explore the mechanisms through which personnel management impact on employee outcomes.
