The editorial overview for Issue 37 introduces seven articles on: the industry anatomy of the transatlantic productivity growth slowdown; firm-level evidence on digitalization and productivity in Europe; the China shock and innovation and productivity in Canadian manufacturing; frontier firms and productivity dispersion in Canada; R&D and productivity; consistency of quarterly and annual productivity indices; and the state of productivity research.

Cet aperçu éditorial pour le numéro 37 présente sept articles portant sur : l’anatomie sectorielle du ralentissement transatlantique de la croissance de la productivité; des données probantes au niveau des entreprises sur la numérisation et la productivité en Europe; le choc chinois et l’innovation et la productivité dans le secteur manufacturier canadien; les entreprises de pointe et la dispersion de la productivité au Canada; la R-D et la productivité; la cohérence des indices de productivité trimestriels et annuels; et l’état de la recherche sur la productivité.
