Robert Gordon: Productivity Growth in Europe and the United States
 

Productivity growth in many advanced economies has been weaker in recent years than in the decades following the Second World War. Since the financial crisis, it has been lower in Europe (including Switzerland) than in the United States, according to official figures, but similar to Japan or Canada. What are the reasons for these differences? And is it possible to make a forecast for the future?

We talk about these issues with Robert Gordon, one of the most important researchers in the field of long-term productivity and economic growth. In a webinar, he will present his analyses and discuss them with us.
