Productivity by the Numbers - Commission Research Paper
Productivity by the Numbers - Commission Research Paper released
Please find a Summary of our latest Research Paper - Productivity by the numbers: The New Zealand experience, by Paul Conway and Lisa Meehan. The full paper is available on our website.
The paper provides a comprehensive assessment of New Zealand’s productivity performance at the level of the whole economy and individual industries. It describes New Zealand’s productivity performance through time and in comparison to other OECD countries.
Our overall finding of a generally poor productivity performance – both at the economy-wide and industry levels – underscores the need for New Zealand’s policy environment to be strongly supportive of productivity growth and for firms to have a clear focus on improving productivity.
