Technology, Productivity, and Economic Growth
These are preliminary drafts and may not have been subjected to the formal review process of the NBER. This page will be updated as the book is revised.
Current technological developments in a number of industries, such as the rise of artificial intelligence and innovations associated with the green energy transition, are likely to have significant and wide-ranging effects. This volume explores the implications of rapid changes in advanced technology and considers how to conceptualize and model these advances and improve measures of productivity and economic growth. The study of these issues is facilitated both by new methods for using and integrating disparate data sources and by the availability of new data sources. The chapters in this volume leverage these developments to offer fresh insights on long-standing issues in productivity analysis and technological change.
