Synopsis:

Over the past couple of decades there have been surges in productivity in a number of countries, in particular in the UK under the Thatcher government. Explanations of these changes have not been satisfactory. This book examines, for the first time, the data relating to these changes at an individual establishment level in a number of countries throughout the world. Using a variety of the most up-to-date methods of analysis, the contributors show that there is no single simple explanation. Changes in competitive conditions, skills, innovation and the growth of small firms all have their part to play, as does the widespread closure of the least productive establishments.

From the Back Cover: Over the past couple of decades there have been episodes of particularly rapid growth in output per head in a number of countries throughout the world, in particular in the UK since the early 1980's.The contributors to this volume provide a comparative analysis of data for a number of different countries. They also estimate the importance of a variety of different factors.
