About the Authors
  • Productivity and its determinants are central to economic debate. This volume examines differences in productivity among nations, and provides comprehensive discussion as to why they exist; it addresses the importance of the growth and measurement of service productivity, and studies the role of human capital in adapting to new technologies. The creation of knowledge through research and development and its diffusion through trade, investment and the interaction of firms are also fully investigated.

    • Surveys reasons for differences in productivity and provides insight into policy making on education, research and labour markets
    • Brings together authors from a wide range of perspectives
    • Addresses the issues of research and development in the growth process, and looks at the diffusion of innovations
