The editorial overview for Issue 25 introduces revised AEA-session papers on: the optimistic vs. pessimistic outlook for U.S. productivity growth; whether the IT revolution is over (Byrne, Oliner, and Sichel) with Syverson’s historical electrification comparison; the productivity-employment trade-off; and European productivity performance and prospects with Petit’s commentary.

Cet aperçu éditorial pour le numéro 25 présente les articles révisés d’une session de l’AEA portant sur : la perspective optimiste par opposition à la perspective pessimiste sur la croissance de la productivité américaine; la question de savoir si la révolution des TI est terminée (Byrne, Oliner et Sichel) avec la comparaison historique de l’électrification par Syverson; le compromis productivité-emploi; et la performance et les perspectives de productivité européenne avec le commentaire de Petit.
