Significant problems exist in the measurement of productivity and hence its understanding, impeding informed policy formulation. This project aims to advance new concepts and methods for productivity measurement that have the potential to improve policy and national welfare, with special attention to: productivity in the mining industry, which has been a particular problem for Australia; the increased holding of precautionary cash balances by firms during financial crises, representing underutilised resources; examination of firm productivity dynamics, without assuming the possibility of disappearing technology capability that is used in standard models; and a more realistic approach to capitalisation of research and development and other intangible investments.

在衡量生产力方面存在着重大问题，因而在理解生产力方面也存在着重大问题，妨碍了知情的政策制定。该项目旨在提出生产力计量的新概念和新方法，这些概念和方法有可能改善政策和国家福利，特别注意：采矿业的生产力，这一直是澳大利亚的一个特殊问题;金融危机期间公司增加了预防性现金余额，这是未充分利用的资源;审查企业生产力动态，而不假设标准模型中使用的技术能力消失的可能性;以及对研究和开发以及其他无形投资的资本化采取更现实的办法。
