Measurement & methods

Productivity is fraught with measurement issues, notably to do with output in service sectors, regional price and productivity differentials, intangible inputs and environmental capital, and knowledge. New techniques and novel data sources, including administrative data and ‘big-data’ at granular levels, can help to gain deep understanding of regional, national and firm-level productivity drivers.
