Tackling the Tough Problems in Productivity Measurement: Infrastructure, Services and R&D

生产力被视为经济增长和福利改善的主要驱动力。生产力指数用于各种政策背景，特别是用于确定政府政策的有效性（或其他方面）。大多数工业化国家都有生产力账户，但计量问题依然存在，而且随着新商品和服务的增加，今后甚至可能出现更大的问题。改进生产力计量并更好地了解其来源，可以为总体和区域政策提供信息。该项目包括与澳大利亚统计局和生产力委员会合作，澳大利亚储备银行参与其中。

Productivity is seen as a main driver of economic growth and welfare improvements. Productivity indexes are used in a variety of policy contexts, in particular in determining the effectiveness (or otherwise) of government policies. Most industrialized countries have productivity accounts, but measurement problems persist and may even be more problematic in the future given an expansion in new goods and services. Improved productivity measurement and an improved understanding of its sources can inform aggregate and regional policy. The project includes collaboration with the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Productivity Commission, with the participation of the Reserve Bank of Australia.
