The editorial overview for Issue 17 introduces six articles covering: labour market policy effects on productivity in OECD countries; why real wages have lagged labour productivity growth in Canada; the ICT diffusion gap between advanced countries; ICT production and productivity in Sweden and Finland; TFP measurement in Argentina; and changes to U.S. national accounts.

Cet aperçu éditorial pour le numéro 17 présente six articles portant sur : les effets des politiques du marché du travail sur la productivité dans les pays de l’OCDE; les raisons pour lesquelles les salaires réels ont été à la traîne de la croissance de la productivité du travail au Canada; l’écart de diffusion des TIC entre les pays avancés; la production et la productivité des TIC en Suède et en Finlande; la mesure de la PMF en Argentine; et les modifications apportées aux comptes nationaux américains.
