The editorial overview for Issue 23 introduces five articles on: business innovation strategies and Canadian innovation policy; new direct measures of computer technology adoption in Canada and the U.S.; the decomposition of the gap between productivity and median real wages in the United States; the relationship between educational attainment, employment rates and productivity in OECD countries; and the treatment of education and health services output in national accounts.

Cet aperçu éditorial pour le numéro 23 présente cinq articles portant sur : les stratégies d’innovation des entreprises et la politique d’innovation canadienne; de nouvelles mesures directes de l’adoption des technologies informatiques au Canada et aux États-Unis; la décomposition de l’écart entre la productivité et les salaires réels médians aux États-Unis; la relation entre le niveau de scolarité, les taux d’emploi et la productivité dans les pays de l’OCDE; et le traitement de la production des services d’éducation et de santé dans les comptes nationaux.
